I look forward to hearing more from the presentation you attended but my first thought reading your message, was how Prediction Markets represent a classic example of what’s involved in adopting new technologies and methods in organizations. I believe Robin Hanson’s pioneering market, appropriately called Xanadu dates to 1989 and one of the leading PM platform provider’s roots are 14 years deep. I see a fascinating parallel to ONA and the fact that Valdis Krebs has been practicing for 2 decades and I know your experience is similarly deep, yes?

From talking to people for our “Inside Knowledge” piece my sense, as the Google paper and Best Buy case indicate, is there are serious organizations applying prediction markets in VERY interesting and strategically important ways. Further because the technology providers are refining their platforms to make easier to use by a wider audience, and with PM models that make companies more comfortable especially in highly regulated operating environments, both adoption and range of applications will grow. Can’t wait to see your future posts and thinking in light of your focus on PM’s for participation and the AIIM survey results. All intriguing. Thanks. Jenny
