About This Workshop

We learn quickly that we cannot solve complex problems on our own and that collaboration is needed to create collective knowledge. Collaboration finds the larger body of knowledge needed for radical solutions. This webinar will explain the nature of networks and the techniques for collaboration. Open Networking is used to share knowledge, release the collective subconscious and to create new knowledge. There is a lower correlation between IQ and problem solving than between diversity and the ability to solve problems. Linus Pauling attributes his Nobel Prize to better collaboration and not better intellect.
