Collaborative intelligence is a measure of the collaborative ability of a group or entity. Knowledge derived from collaborative efforts is increasing proportionally to the reach of the World Wide Web, collaborative groupware like Skype, NetMeeting, WebEx, and many others. IQ is a term readily used to describe or measure an intelligent quota of a person. EQ has been used to measure the Emotional Intelligence of a person to describe how a person handles emotions in a given situation. CQ or Collaborative Intelligence measures the collaborative ability of a group. CQ is a fairly new term arising from the visibility of collaborative efforts of companies and entities. CQ is a situation where the knowledge and problem solving capability of a group is much greater than the knowledge possessed by an individual group member. As groups work together they develop a shared memory, which is accessible through the collaborative artifacts created by the group, including meeting minutes, transcripts from threaded discussions, and drawings. The shared memory (group memory) is also accessible through the memories of group members.
