Abstract

To explicate the belief that learning is key to the development of human intelligence, a triarchic theory of human intelligence is presented and its implications are explored. Specifically, group knowledge-acquisition techniques for capturing and using human expertise are explored. To illustrate the ideas that a synthesis of human expertise and information technology is key to the creation of more intelligent organizations, a collaborative metasystem is proposed as a mechanism to help individuals and organizations manage personal and corporate knowledge systems and thereby deal intelligently with environmental uncertainty and equivocality
