Swarm Creativity powers the COINs 2010 community and with it the Science of Collaboration. Conference participants present reports focused on creativity, communication, and collaboration from many different disciplines and industries.
The swarm creativity map offers a guide to entrepreneurs, businesses, organizations, and government for innovation investment.
Today, civic leaders need to work on many different projects simultaneously and at many different levels to optimize initiatives in open, connected global markets.
The swarm creativity map is a heuristic model for thinking across categories of investment in balanced systems. It is transferable and extensible.
Maps act as filters, provide a sense of logistics, and encourage more than one area of attention to be held at once. With that we can begin to think in terms of the value of network connectivity and systemic relationships.
The map identifies how swarm creativity as a discipline can be strengthened by investments in new practices and tools.
One tool, Cool Trends 2.0, is trend finding software developed by http://www.GalaxyAdvis.... It is designed to provide investment metrics for web 3.0, the semantic web.
Attention to new practices, such as meritocracy, are fundamental to establishing good habits of sharing that nurture trusted relationships and cultivate collaborative environments.
Frameworks like this one work well in complexity. They can accelerate the cognitive shifts required to think in terms of networks and organize more efficient approaches to day-to-day project workflow and goals.
Frameworks are helpful guides to community leaders to encourage investment in a Cool Place - such as a coffee house or library with free parking and quality Internet access. Cool places assure people the ability to convene to share information and exchange knowledge, essential to the sustainability of entrepreneurial cultures.
These are some examples of investment in a Swarm Creativity culture: creative, cool, fun, and intelligent.
