Co-intelligence

Paul Goodison blogs this extract from a site on co-intelligence.

Co-intelligence is the capacity to live well WITH each other and life, creatively using diversity and uniqueness, consciously evolving together in partnership with nature, and consciously transforming culture. Co-intelligence is intrinsic in all living systems and can always be improved. Use it for organizational development, better family relations, community renewal, and creating a more just, democratic and sustainable society.
This is very much the theme of the work I do using Improvisation; getting people to create collectively something that is much more that the sum of their individual thoughts and ideas. It's a practice that celebrates diversity and empowers everyone to see that they are part of a creative process.

The definition of 'co-intelligence' is almost the same as that of 'collective intelligence', though 'collective intelligence' is more meta level IMHO.

John Abbe says

Tom has collective intelligence as one of at least six manifestations of co-intelligence, see http://www.co-intelligence.org/I-6_CI_manifestations.html
