Announcing the Launch of Collective Intelligence Perspectives

Sven-Volker Rehm • April 22, 2025

A New Journal on Collective Intelligence, Systems Thinking, and Interdisciplinary Inquiry

I am delighted to announce the official launch of Collective Intelligence Perspectives, a new scholarly journal dedicated to the exploration of Collective Intelligence, Systems Thinking, and interdisciplinary approaches to complex societal and organizational challenges.


The journal was formally constituted last week by the Board of the GWS Society - the Society for Managerial and Social Cybernetics, marking an important step toward revitalizing cybernetic and systems sciences in contemporary contexts.


I'm also pleased to share that I have been elected as the journal’s first Editor-in-Chief. CI Perspectives aims to become a vibrant platform for reflective scholarship, theoretical innovation, and methodological advancement in the study of emergent intelligence in socio-technical systems, governance, and organizational life.


In the coming weeks, we will begin forming our Editorial Board, and we warmly invite expressions of interest from researchers and thought leaders in the fields of:


  • Collective Intelligence
  • Systems and Cybernetics
  • Organizational and Communication Theory
  • Philosophy of Technology
  • Complexity Science
  • Artificial and Hybrid Intelligence
  • Interdisciplinary and Critical Inquiry


CI Perspectives will publish peer-reviewed essays, position papers, and original research that connect conceptual depth with practical insight, contributing to a deeper understanding of how we think, act, and decide collectively in an increasingly complex world.


Stay tuned for our inaugural call for papers.


For inquiries or to express interest in joining the Editorial Board, please contact us at: office@ci-perspectives.org

Editorial work is progressing on the Springer Nature Handbook of Hybrid Intelligence , which I am co-editing with an international team of scholars. The Handbook brings together theoretical, methodological, and applied perspectives on the interaction and integration of human and artificial intelligence, with contributions spanning organizational, technological, and societal contexts.

Together with colleagues from the University of Stuttgart and the Society for Managerial and Social Cybernetics (GWS), I helped organize a symposium marking the centenary of Stafford Beer . The event explored the continuing relevance of management cybernetics for organizational viability, governance, and the challenges posed by artificial intelligence and increasing complexity.
