wisdom summary
On Saturday I had an opportunity to hear James Surowiecki discus the potential of intelligent group forecasting and decision-making from his book,The Wisdom of Crowds
3 things necessaryto make groups intelligent:
(1) aggregating people’s judgments in a genuine bottom-up decision making process
(2) diversity: experience, background, pov
(3) independence of thought: Independence based solely on individual knowledge, information or intuitions (No piggy-backing on others' ideas)
