Description: It's a fact: A group of intelligent people, when combined in an organization, will often yield collective stupidity! We've all seen intelligence blocked, squandered, and misused in the business world - but now writer and thinker Karl Albrecht introduces the concept of "OI" (Organizational Intelligence) and shows how an enterprise can mobilize and focus its collective brain power.
