In the past few decades, we have seen an explosion in the quantity of data, information, ideas, and images that are available to us from across the globe.
What do we accomplish with this over-abundance of data & information?
The answer so far has been better analysis, better predictive capability, and the re-emergence of AI as the potential game changer of the future.
But this may be only part of the story.
What happens when we help individuals learn better, reflect more (using better quality of information), think more effectively, and sensemake the world more inclusively?
What happens when we can use this knowledge to transform education from a process of intellectual capacity building to a process of creating a more evolved generation of human beings?
What happens when we help individuals & collectives sensemake and transform information into new possibilities for themselves and gain, therefore, a radically new understanding of themselves, their relationships, and their role in society?
In short, what will happen when we get past acquiring, analyzing, and leveraging the over abundance of knowledge, to assimilating this knowledge and thereby transforming ourselves, the collectives & institutions we are a part of, and the quality of our shared responses to the challenges we face at all levels of our collective existence?
