has gloss | eng: An Information Routing Group (or IRG) is one of a semi-infinite set of similar interlocking and overlapping groups each IRG containing a group of ( maybe 3 to 200) individuals (IRGists) and each IRG loosely sharing a particular common interest; IRGists exchange information, as a group, a sub group, or individually within that IRG, via electronic lateral communication. Any IRGist might be in 2 or 3 IRGs peculiar to them but with different IRGists. The idea was proposed in 1984 in the book "The IRG Solution - hierarchical incompetence and how to overcome it" before the advent of the Internet although personal computers plus modems were conceived as mediating contact, and would nowadays be referred to as a Social network service or a Collaborative innovation network and was intended to foster information and innovation exchange and to enhance group intelligence and Collective intelligence. |
