The authors' extended network has demonstrated how harnessing collective wisdom can be instrumental in: rendering our world more accessible (Laouris et al, 2008b;Laouris et al, 2017;Roe et al, 2011); sustainable (Ferri et al, 2018;; reinventing education (Laouris et al, 2010) and democracy (Laouris & Romm, 2022a, 2022bLaouris et al, 2022;Romm et al, 2022); resolvinginter-communal conflicts (Laouris et al, 2009a(Laouris et al, , 2009b; or reforming local governance (Laouris & Michaelides, 2018;Michaelides & Laouris, 2023).…”

The paper reviews and discusses several definitions of wisdom. The aim is to stimulate and hopefully launch a debate regarding the challenges we face in our attempts to understand and harness it. The authors begin with reviewing the definitions of wisdom as kindness, well-being, and altruism, discuss practical wisdom in medicine and consulting, and introduce attempts to operationalise it as data compression. Further definitions consider the relation of wisdom to logic, intelligence, language, ageing, experience, insight, and faith. Following some theoretical considerations regarding uncertainty, heuristics, unconscious mind, and free will, the article concludes with an introduction to the concept of collective wisdom.

The paper examines the impact of virtual rendering of the Structured Democratic Dialogue (SDD) process. The authors discuss the implications of implementing each process stage virtually and suggest necessary adaptations to the relevant practices. They provide recommendations for improving the overall quality of online sessions and propose qualitative and quantitative indicators that can be used to compare and evaluate face‐to‐face and hybrid or virtual implementations. Pertinent indicators include financial cost, completion time, cost of required resources, number of factors generated, Spreadthink, extent, depth and quality of discussions during clustering and mapping stages, number of dimensions identified, number of factors included in the influence map, number of connections in the influence tree, situational complexity indices and degree of agreement on how to move forward. The authors propose that further research and additional case studies can help systems scientists and practitioners converge on reliable and validated criteria and metrics to allow solid assessment of possible quality loss associated with rendering each stage of the SDD process virtual.
