If you missed the post by Emile Servan Schreiber, CEO of Newsfutures, advising President Obama how to better harness the wisdom of the Federal crowd to produce the best idea for saving Government money and improving bureaucratic efficiency, it is a must read.
In addition to the explanation of a more effective collective wisdom approach what caught my attention was mention of “collective intelligence specialists”.
If the array of sponsors for the Prediction Markets Cluster, Chicago November 6 is any indicator, the technology is burgeoning to help enterprises go deep into and beyond their organizations to improve forecasts, filter ideas for solving business challenges and innovating.
At what point I wonder will the value of crowdsourcing organizational wisdom be recognized in a new “Collective Intelligence Specialist” job title?
What do you predict?
