Collective Intelligence

Collective Intelligence in International Affairs

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to analyze how the civilized machinery works together to solve complex collective problems and utilize synergies that make it possible for humans to strategically innovate.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to redefine global cooperation by improving the collective human composition, interaction, policy intervention and transformations resulting from innovations of present and future generations. 

ABOUT US

Strahl Composite is a think tank with a unique global perspective and experience analyzing and intervening in the collective intelligence space between humans and the totality of civilizations. Chiefly, how societies, institutions, and other governing systems solve complex collective problems. We examine and reflect potential synergies derived from vast differences and competing interests wrought by innovations to enhance collective intelligence.

​​

Our systems analysis approach is interdisciplinary and combines social-scientific traditions in the analysis of organizing processes and their outcomes. We put the human at the center of this approach. How humans and sovereign states interact with each other, how humans interact with technology and vice-versa, how humans build the world, and how humans exchange goods, services, and information across borders. Our research is driven by a strong interest in collective intelligence as a practical, situated, contested, and changing matter.

Edelman Trust Barometer | 2026

The 2026 Edelman Trust Barometer reveals a global society sliding from grievance into a "crisis of insularity," where individuals are turning off outside information and retreating into closed ecosystems of trust. Published by the Edelman Trust Institute, the 26th annual global study surveyed nearly 34,000 respondents across 28 nations.
