Achieving a Unified Perspective – Enabling Collective Intelligence with a Single View Data Architecture
Robbie Cook - Enterprise Information and Data Architect - Endeavour Energy
Collective intelligence (CI) refers to the enhanced decision-making, innovation, and problem-solving ability that emerges when individuals, systems, and technologies collaborate effectively. It integrates human expertise, data, and AI-driven insights to create a more intelligent system than any individual or technology alone.
Achieving a unified perspective through a single view data architecture enables collective intelligence by integrating diverse data sources into a cohesive, real-time, and accessible framework. This architecture breaks down silos, ensuring that customer, asset, and operational data are harmonised to provide a single source of truth. By enabling seamless data sharing and advanced analytics, organisations can leverage AI, automation, and human collaboration to generate deeper insights, improve decision-making, and drive innovation.
