Swarm Intelligence (SI) was founded in 2017 as a Delaware-registered, veteran-owned limited liability corporation. SI offers a SaaS Platform that enables affinity communities, public/private, and public/public partnerships (PPP) to harness advanced innovation and collaboration technologies to address the challenges and opportunities encompassing Homeland Security’s 16 critical infrastructure sectors. These are considered vital to the security and well-being of United States: an attack or disruption of these core infrastructures would have a debilitating effect on national security, economic security, public health or safety.

For the past several years SI has applied its platform’s proprietary software, intellectual property, know-how and technology to major PPP organizations in the water, healthcare, government, new space economy, education and transportation sectors. In each instance, SI has also found that colleges and universities have been essential contributors to these affinity ecosystems as they search for the innovations necessary to establish core infrastructure systems capable of sustaining society in and beyond the 21st Century.

This is the problem Swarm Intelligence® has been designed to solve: better enabling public and private organizations to seamlessly work together to use their respective strengths and off-set their respective shortcomings to fulfill their potential to meet the pressing challenges confronting us today. These can only be met by deliberate, pro-active and sustainable public and private sector collaboration and cooperation.

  • Create search queries directly from documents
  • Direct IBM Watson connection enables additional sophisticated search functions
  • Project dashboards allow team members to follow the progress of each project
INNOVATE

We are also different in two other important ways. First, we understand that success is not found in the technology we deploy. What PPPs engage in is not process and technology transformation, but rather, in change. PPPs are agents of change and therefore our ecosystems are designed to be “change agents”. Second, we understand that one of the major challenges facing PPPs is funding. Rather than treating this challenge as an impediment we have positioned it as an “opportunity”. PPPs in so many ways are fundamentally a community-driven ecosystem aiming to solve a common need or problem; we have therefore defined a funding approach that reflects the dynamics of the broad community that any specific PPP may be addressing. This encompasses elements of:

Our Platform

Our Open Collaboration Platform (OCP) is deployed as a SaaS cloud-based innovation public-private community centric platform to leading public and private organizations around the world. SI enables its clients to build, manage and collaborate within their own proprietary innovation ecosystems, while using our OCP. The OCP is driven by four core software “enablers”: Learn, Share, Connect and Execute. Using our Execute functionality we enable PPPs to harness the collective power of internal and member knowledge while building global networks of decision makers, issue stakeholders, innovators, researchers and trusted subject matter experts. These core capabilities are embedded within our proprietary environment of self-community formation and networking coupled with the ability to seamlessly integrate with a client’s own internal software environment and attached ecosystems.

Our experience has also taught us that from a technology architecture perspective an open collaborative innovation platform such as ours requires four fundamental functions to successfully enable PPPs to realize their full potential.

1. Knowledge Management

The ability to collect, organize, access and distribute the “total” understanding, content, workings and resources of multiple stakeholders (employees, providers, vendors, partners and users) to accelerate the adoption of value-driven models by all.

2. Innovation Management

The ability to collaboratively solve innovation gaps (problems and opportunities) of critical importance to stakeholders. The OCP allows these innovation gaps to be (1) appropriately defined and framed, so that innovative yet practical solutions can be (2) identified, vetted, and (3) developed to a successful launch for (4) sustained execution. The ability to conduct innovation Prizes and Challenges is enabled by this module in combination with the Social Networking and Community Module. Although the initial deployments most often are directed to our clients’ known PPP members, this module’s design enables the expansion to non-member innovators and collaborators thereby creating a more robust, dynamic, and comprehensive innovation ecosystem.

3. Social Networking & Community

The ability to harness advanced technologies and know-how in social networking and open collaboration to enable the formation, self-governance and sustainability of an innovation ecosystem, with appropriate subcommunities, and characterized by trust, transparency and value contribution. This module is enabled by the Learn, Connect, and Execute modules.

4. Cogitative Intelligence

This enables the three previous modules to “recognize” a community member and the innovation gap being addressed enable our clients to utilize the full capabilities and potential of our OCP Platform. Cogitative Intelligence organizes and pushes content, knowledge and connections with others to the member when needed and in a manner and context most helpful.

In addition SI, together with inno360 Inc.; (also co-founded by SI’s co-founders) have established an exclusive go-to-market contractual alliance. This alliance takes full advantage of inno360’s partnership with IBM Watson and other industry and domain specific AI providers: SI is responsible for representing and bringing the inno360 innovation management tools, content and partnerships to its customers on its platform.
