Dave Rahardja<p>A reminder that “the wisdom of crowds” does NOT mean that any random collection of ignoramuses will perform better than a small set of experts! It means that a DIVERSE SET OF EXPERTS will do better than one or two.</p><p>“The fact that cognitive diversity matters does not mean that if you assemble a group of diverse but thoroughly uninformed people, their collective wisdom will be smarter than an expert's. But if you can assemble a diverse group of people who possess varying degrees of knowledge and insight, you're better off entrusting it with major decisions rather than leaving them in the hands of one or two people, no matter how smart those people are.”</p><p>—James Surowiecki, “The Wisdom of Crowds”</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/expertise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>expertise</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wisdomOfCrowds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wisdomOfCrowds</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/diversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diversity</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEI</span></a></p>
