What we think about things.

Extended Intelligence

What is artificial intelligence and why is everyone talking about it? Extended Intelligence by contrast is human and artificial intelligence working in concert to solve problems.

5 Intelligences

The 5 extended intelligences represent the domains of the insight i/o group. Each domain is a field of applications, tools and products which serve to improve our internal operations and business functions and target new opportunities to transform our services for our clients.

Data First

What does a data-centric approach to insights look like? In elementary school we learn the traditional scientific method. In the world of big data however, there is a total transformation in the fundamental approaches to research and analysis.

Space as Interface

The past decade has seen an incredible shift in user expectations when it comes to products and services. Using technology to augment the capabilities and intelligence of spaces can allow for them to function as more unique, more effective, and more customized interfaces to allow users to engage in meaningful and delightful activities.

The Power of Public Data

Public data has the power to transform the ways in which cities are configured, services are delivered and equity can be maintained. What are some ways Detroit can leverage open data technology?

Realtime Data Insights

How do the ways we develop data and insights change with the application of technology? Are there new and untapped ways to understand user behavior in spaces at all scales?
