Traditional tiered support structures cannot keep up with the demand of complex work in knowledge-intensive environments. Intelligent Swarming efficiently routes work directly to the right resources, and when people need help solving problems, makes it easy for them to collaborate.

The Intelligent Swarming methodology is captured in publicly available resources:

Intelligent Swarming Unlocks Potential

Developed among support and service teams in high tech industries, Intelligent Swarming is a more efficient way to solve problems in ever-changing, complex environments.

Intelligent Swarming, developed by the Members of the Consortium for Service Innovation, unlocks the full potential of an organization. It challenges 30 years of accepted practice by removing tiers of support and instead leverages the collective expertise of your team. Evolved workflows keep pace with today’s more complex environments and increased customer expectations.

We need to replace the static, linear, hierarchy-based model with a dynamic, fluid, adaptive organization based on an unbounded network.

The goal of Intelligent Swarming is to facilitate collaboration by enabling relevant connections as part of a truly collaborative, knowledge-sharing environment.
