About Us
who we are
People are naturally social and social relationships have sustained the ways we interrelate to start and finish our greatest achievements. Today the ways we use technology has created a virtual-world that is overloading us with so much information that the resulting behaviours are breaking many productive social relationships in the actual-world.
Collective Social Intelligence is not just a global organisation it is our mantra, the way we conduct our business, ourselves and the way we engage with the world. CSI is our vision for the planet and it all starts with visualising, socialising and agreeing common goals and critical success factors based on the understanding that ultimately we all want the same things for our own well being, our children and the future.
what we do
CSI paves the way for a more generic discussion of how we use space and workplaces to create innovation and more importantly how innovation relates to competitive advantage. Innovation is fundamentally about people and how they work together using visualisation. Ultimately it is the people you have working for you and how they work together that is the sole source of innovation in any organisation.
Our unique IP and world first technologies and methodologies enable people and businesses to extract maximum value from relationships, creating value between customers, shareholders, employees and management, especially when it comes to immediately understanding that the key to growth and profitability are in recognising value vs. cost.
