NEXT SESSION SCHEDULE (March 8)
- 3pm - 4:30pm ET / 9-10:30pm CET:
Hot Seat and Collaboratory Granting
- 4:30pm - 6pm ET / 10:30 pm-12am CET: Open conversation flow
- 6pm - 7:30pm ET / 12-1:30am CET: "Disaster in Texas Sensemaking Jam"
COLLABORATORY GRANTING
With the help of several teams of consultants (see below), CICOLAB is coordinating a federated effort to increase fundraising among the aligned-yet-disparate groups in our larger network. The point is to (i) increase the identification of moneymaking opportunities, (ii) maximize the potential of a common calendar, (iii) create an overall contextual story of distributed intelligence and interoperability, and (iv) help make it easier for groups to partner up to increase their eligibility for more grants.
In the upcoming session, we introduce these concepts and co-create some MOU (memorandum of understanding) templates to help new groups form around individual grant opportunities.
HOT SEAT:
CHARLES BLASS — MAPPING ON THE FLY
CICOLAB’s CB will share his core daily/ hourly practice to grab sense from the continual streams of media, info, chats and conversations, research and resources flying by at every moment, in and from all channels. Aka Copy/Paste for Ninjas.

Also Monday, in the fourth hour (!) we are hosting a sensemaking session to celebrate and welcome our thirteen (13) new "consultants" (formerly "interns" before we discovered their level of competency), ten of whom are in the University of Texas-San Antonio's MBA program. Another team comes to us from Stony Brook University on Long Island, New York. Not only will we practice our methodology, but we will introduce the newcomers to the basics of collective intelligence and why multi-disciplinary sensemaking is so critical in a rapidly changing world.
We will be answering questions such:
- What was the larger political and economic context of the disaster in Texas?
- Why did individual Texans behave in ways that maximized their own chances at survival at the expense of their communities (like emptying the grocery stores)?
If you have a question of your own, please add it to our shared Google doc. If you want to find out more about how a sensemaking session works, see our detailed Miro board.
Useful reference is the Peeragogy pattern for real-time meetings, particularly the various sensemaking roles toward the end of the page.

Wrap from March 1st, 2021: Collaboratory Reconciliation.
In this session, we realize that it must be a collaborative effort to define the particular group norms and to hold the space with different social roles for each person. This is very different from a cookie-cutter solution where a conflict resolution expert comes in with predefined structure to teach people what to do.

CICOLAB X RADISH: RADICAL SUPERINTELLIGENCE COLLABORATORY
The combined beauty and scale of our collective nextworks is absolutely out of this world, beaming back at this world with so much collective LOVE. Weaving and tuning these healing beams into potent focus to nurture flourishing life for seven generations and beyond is where we’re heading between our many sister circles.
Jamen Shively, founder of Radish aka Radical Collective Intelligence, dropped a couple of love bombs on CICOLAB this week, when he joined our session on a “field trip“ with a handful of cohorts from The Conversation. They blessed us with their presence and Jamen delivered a masterful summary of Collective Superintelligence as described in the Radish whitepaper. See video below.
Not only this, he followed up with an offer we can’t refuse. Stay tuned as we tune up our collective meta-strategy for making sure our collective network activation strategy moving forward is based in scientific principles and methodology to determine, define and allow for updating our strategy as we begin to join forces in tangible, practical ways. Timing could not be better and we’re tremendously gratified and excited. Thank you Jamen!!!
