Introduction

Following the discussion on the fundamental conception of the Intelligent Consortium in the chapter “On the Intelligent Consortium,” this chapter will deduce the construction of the Intelligent Consortium, providing a relatively comprehensive implementation framework for building the Intelligent Consortium in reality. However, it must be acknowledged that the ideas presented below are merely speculative, derived from deductive reasoning. It is certain that, at least at the time of the first edition of this book, these views have not yet been validated in practice, and their adaptability across various scenarios remains unknown. Undoubtedly, they do not represent absolute truth. I hope that the perspectives on the construction of the Intelligent Consortium in this chapter can serve as a catalyst, inspiring readers who aspire to build such consortia. The content envisioned in this chapter is akin to a template design for a small house built with blocks in the game Minecraft. It has not yet been constructed even within the game. Readers can regard it as reference material for DIY organizational network construction.

Before delving into this chapter, I believe the term “Construction of the Intelligent Consortium” should be interpreted in a broader sense, rather than merely focusing on a micro-level elaboration of organizational network rules and personnel allocation. Before discussing the rules of organizational networks, we must first address the question of where the individual components of the organization come from. Individuals are the prerequisite for an organization; only when potential organizational individuals emerge does the formation of the Intelligent Consortium become possible. To achieve this prerequisite of acquiring potential organizational individuals, this chapter needs to discuss the construction of the Intelligent Consortium under a broader definition.

This chapter divides the content of constructing the Intelligent Consortium into two main parts: the first part discusses the developmental forms of Intelligenism, and the second part addresses the formation of the Intelligent Consortium. The first part will conceive the ecological environment for the formation of potential organizational individuals, attempting to deduce and envision how this ecosystem should manifest and how potential organizational individuals will emerge within it. The second part will discuss how to build various forms of the Intelligent Consortium from existing potential organizational individuals and elaborate on the issues these nascent consortia will face in their initial construction phase.

Through reading this chapter, readers should be able to form mental associations with Intelligenism and the Intelligent Consortium and conduct thought experiments by combining their imagination with real-world business scenarios to evaluate the potential value of the organizational network form of the Intelligent Consortium in practical business contexts. However, it must be admitted that there is a long and winding road between the value judgments derived from such thought experiments and their actual realization in practice. Nevertheless, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If this book and this chapter can provide even a modicum of theoretical support and practical guidance for future practitioners, it would be considered a significant success. Regardless, imagination is the starting point of everything, and with imagination comes possibility—this is the most fundamental role this chapter aims to fulfill.
