The emergence of collective intelligence from teams requires intelligent design. The old saying "two heads are better than one," isn't always true. Teams, from married couples to multinational corporations and nations must be structured and tasked properly for collective intelligence to emerge.
The implications of this chapter remind me that humans often collaborate with other natural intelligences (dogs, cats, horses, etc.) to produce results that are equally, if not at times more intelligent than a group of humans performing the same task.
