Teaching collective intelligence.
Collective intelligence has become a popular term in newspapers and debates. It's the ability to think and act
in a aligned, coordinated and effective manner as a group (business, lawfirms, NGOs, administration, team

In our society of knowledge, global and sustainable organization performance requires to mobilize the
intelligence of its internal and external stakeholders in a societal, ecological and economic human-centre

Amalek (novel)
Avant-propos September 15, 2012
Authors: Thibault Verbiest
In a crisis stricken Middle East Islamite fanatics align themselves with American evangelists in a apocalyptic
conspiracy in order to precipitate the End of Days leading to the destruction of Iran and Israel.
Nine Israeli soldiers are selected for a last chance mission. A machine capable of teleportation, based upon
new technology has to send them to a secret Egyptian base to try and avoid a nuclear war.
The commando is teleported, but the destination is not what had been foreseen. They find themselves a few
kilometers away from Auschwitz, in 1943….
Between quantum physics and Kabbalah, the story of an initiatic voyage of five men and four women
confronted with horror. And the Truth.
L'intelligence collective, un nouveau paradigme pour le management
L'Echo May 18, 2013
Authors: Thibault Verbiest
L’intelligence collective (IC) est devenue un terme à la mode qu’on retrouve de plus en plus souvent dans les
journaux et les débats. Il s’agit de la capacité à penser et à agir de façon alignée, coordonnée et efficace en
tant que groupe (entreprise, cabinets d'avocats, ONG, administration, équipe sportive, orchestre, etc.).
Dans notre société de la connaissance, la performance globale et durable d’une organisation requiert de
savoir mobiliser l'intelligence collective de ses parties prenantes internes et externes dans une approche
sociétale, écologique et économique centrée sur l’humain.
