The Society of Problem Solvers

A 5 star review of Rod Collins’ book on running businesses and systems using collective intelligence. And how we can use this powerful and underused force to fix humanity.

This book absolutely caught us off guard. After writing about collective intelligence for almost five years here on The Society of Problem Solvers Substack, we finally found someone (actually they found us) who was also running large systems of people using the process of collective intelligence. And he wrote a book about it. In fact, a few of them.

In his first book, Leadership in a Wiki World, Rod Collins starts off like this:

“This book is about two ideas whose time has almost come. When they firmly take root, they will dramatically reshape the ways we work together, especially in large organizations. While these ideas have already begun to sprout, most of us underestimate their impact and remain largely unaware that they will inevitably end the world as we have known it.”
