IntelliConferences and IntelliSynthesis

Overview of CAPSI IntelliConference® Process

CAPSI convenes stakeholders in IntelliConference® processes that apply IntelliSynthesis®, our breakthrough question-and-response dialogue method, to generate efficient input from small or large groups of diverse stakeholders. IntelliSynthesis facilitates our collective knowledge; it is everywhere and all around us when we are in our natural state of collaboration.

Documentation and Methodology

IntelliConferences capture and catalog all perspectives, conversation details, and thinking in a transparent, continuously evolving record that becomes the long-term project plan, informing future reports, presentations, and action plans. This methodology employs guided inquiry by a facilitation team to elicit and expand each participant's thinking. Collective action is one of the biggest hurdles in designing collaborative action plans, and our IntelliSynthesis-based IntelliConferences overcome that obstacle.

Advantages Over Traditional Collaboration Methods

CAPSI IntelliConferences® transcend the limitations of social media and online interactions by focusing on the collective intelligence of a diverse team that has come together to solve a significant problem. It is a simple yet elegant approach to group dialogue that supercharges the public and private sector's ability to collaborate for more profitable industrial activity that benefits society.

Stakeholder Engagement Process

Academic leaders, business executives, government officials, and other stakeholders agree to collaborate fully and transparently, moving beyond the siloed thinking of their institutions, companies, and agencies to discuss and tackle the topic's nuances and intricacies. All perspectives and essential conversation details are captured and tracked in an open-source dialogue record that becomes the long-term project plan and informs future reports and presentations. Of critical importance, IntelliSynthesis® enables confidentiality of sensitive perspectives at any participant's request.

Facilitation and Outcomes

Each IntelliConference® is facilitated by trained individuals who may also be subject-matter experts. These individuals ensure forward progress is sustained and camaraderie is intact. An IntelliConference® is an empowering experience for participants, as they see that all contributions are respected and appreciated for their merit. In the mix of ideas, pragmatic solutions emerge that were previously inaccessible. Outlier perspectives are honored and addressed by either supporting the group in opening up to the value of the outlier view or assisting the participant with the outlier view to embrace the group's direction.
