Harness Collective Intelligence

Knowledge workers care too much about their autonomy and initiative to be handed process designs created by someone else.

— Davenport/Prusak

Mindquarry regards personal expertise and social networks as the key to optimal information management. Knowledge is being created where ideas and people meet.

Freeform collaboration

Mindquarry provides a new approach towards team work, allowing knowledge workers to sustain emerging collaboration patterns. Our software is mostly freeform to allow developing and re-shaping individual ways of interaction in a persistent digital environment.

The collaboration feature set of Mindquarry is inspired by social software (e.g. Wiki) and the international Open Source developers community (e.g. concurrent version control). Their tools have proven to be the most effective and inexpensive for modern collaboration.

Participation is key

Mindquarry supports the growth of personal expertise and social networks to master information. Collective intelligence identifies meaningful data and forms decisions - the basis of your success.

In essence, effective management of information is about supporting human interactions and providing the right tools for daily tasks of knowledge work. That‘s what Mindquarry does.

Freedom of collaboration

Knowledge workers need to freely shape their common environment to be creative. With Mindquarry, they can work in teams any time, anywhere with whom ever they wish. They set the limits and rules, because within Mindquarry, they can define collaborative patterns of interaction themselves.
