Anatomy Of Intelligence

200 million years ago - Dinosaurs ruled this planet, today its human species. What's changed? Is it intelligence which is the differentiating factor? Not exactly, vital component in the mix is the communication and that's implicit in intelligence.

It all starts from observation - recording event and there results - then making conclusions, improvising as more events of similar nature are encountered. In nutshell pattern recognition match and act. The real difference comes when communication kicks in and amplifies the whole process to a level where innumerable permutation combinations are at disposal of the mankind.

Underling current is the streams of data processed to produce applied information and made available to masses. Same analogy holds true in the porous boundaries of business houses. So a great business organization have one great characteristics, it have smooth uninterrupted communication channels for relevant information to flow through the whole organization.

Where does innovation fits into the picture. Lateral thinkers break the patterns to innovate - it’s so unique to human species. Intelligence then becomes the vehicle for innovation to reach out to every individual of our civilization.
