About Us In our experience we have observed that many organizations have difficult-to-manage "failure points." A number of these failure points are associated with an organization's most basic process - the exchange of information and creation of solutions to  problems. This basic process is where employees, team members, and workgroups must perform the most essential tasks of the organization at the highest level. We have seen destructive habits and behaviors undermine communication and collaboration, draining energy and the chance for greater success from the organization. Several years ago, we embarked on an experiment to develop a technology that would quickly and effectively neutralize counter-productive habits and provide a vehicle for advanced teamwork and problem solving. Collective Intelligence Solutions exists to bring that development to corporate, government and community service projects which rely on the integrity and creativity of team performance. ~Robert Bystrom and Ham Hayes  Robert Bystrom’s background is in business, education and project management.
