Introduction
The basic premises here are:
Groups are better than solving problems than even the cleverest of people within them ie collective intelligence is more powerful than even the brightest individual - and that includes experts.
There are 4 elements to a crowd being really effective:
- 1. There must be a whole range of different opinions.
- 2. The people in the crowd must be independent of each as possible i.e. little conferring.
- 3. The crowd must be decentralised - ie no one to be in charge.
- 4. There must be some method of aggregating the results.
