This document summarizes work on collective intelligence initiatives including two prototypes: 1) A news aggregator and scanning system for the Korea GCCSR situation room, and 2) A news aggregator, early warning system scanning, and situational awareness tool for Kuwait's PMO EWS. It then discusses roots of futures methodologies and obstacles to considering soft factors like human meaning and purpose. Finally, it outlines methods and tools for cultivating collective intelligence including storytelling, serious games, and self-organizing community-based economic development.
