Collective Wisdom Initiative

Callanan, was designed to explore collective wisdom practices
and to document how collective intelligence may be used for
healing and reconciliation, and for the transformation of the
individual and society.

cultural evolution.

SoL was founded in April 1997 by Peter Senge in collaboration

to MIT's Center for Organizational Learning. Its mission is to
foster collaboration among corporations that are committed to
fundamental organizational change and to building learning
organizations.
