Better Opportunity: • clearly defined ways to contribute
specific knowledge and skills• individual strengths are validated,
engaged and developed
highly collective amplification

collaboration superpowers
Gamers and other amplified individuals are gaining
10 new skills and strengths, or, “collaboration superpowers.”
35
• the ability to do real-time work in very large groups
• a talent for coordinating with many people simultaneously—“scalable collaboration”
mobbability
36
cooperation radar
• the ability to sense, almost intuitively, who would make the best collaborators on a particular task
37
• measures your responsiveness to other people’s requests for engagement
• your propensity and ability to reach out to others in a network
ping quotient
38
• the ability to be persuasive in diverse social contexts and media spaces
• understanding that each work environment and collaboration space requires a different persuasive strategy and technique
influency
39
• fluency in working with different capitals, e.g., natural, intellectual, social, and financial
multi-capitalism
40
• fearless innovation in rapid, iterative cycles
• ability to lower the costs and increase the speed of failure
protovation
41
• creating content for public consumption and modification
open authorship

The X2 Project
The Institute for the Future (IFTF) is pleased to announce the launch of a groundbreaking research initiative, the X2 Project.
Named after the famous “X Club,” a forward-looking group of 19th Century scientists who gathered to better understand disruptions from advances in scientific and technological innovation, X2 will identify major trends and disruptions in science, technology, and the practice of science over the next twenty years.

The X2 Project
The X2 Project will:
• look ahead and identify future disruptions, opportunities, and competitive landscapes related to the content and dynamics of global science and technology innovation;
• develop an open-source database and collaborative gaming environment to become an ongoing public web platform to help support, sustain and filter collective intelligence about science and technology; and
• present this information to policy experts, decision-makers, and the general public in a useful, evolving form.

The X2 Project
The IFTF X2 Project will convene a wide variety of distinguished participants from the worlds of science and technology to contribute to this collective knowledge of the future. In this highly interactive platform, participants will contribute signals—data points about discrete events, developments, discoveries, places—that will be clustered into larger patterns (trends) in the science and technology innovation landscape. IFTF will then use analytical and visualization tools to help users navigate, generate, and analyze the content, and ultimately will provide a high-level synthesis of key trends in the future of science and technology.

what’s important?
Amplified intelligence gaming is a low-risk, high-speed, and deeply immersive platform
that enables new kinds of massively collaborative groups to play with complex,
global scale problems.
They are a platform for re-imagining, preparing for, and inventing the future, today.
52
what’s important?
In the coming decade, many research, policy-making and development organizations will
derive their most important breakthroughs as a result of playing games.
53
what’s important?
“The opposite of play isn't work, it's depression.
To play is to act out and be willful, exultant and committed – as if one is assured of one's prospects.”
– Brian Sutton Smith, anthropologist
