When Consensus Decision-Making Works
We often talk of the “wisdom of crowds” and the power of collective knowledge. But supporting evidence is often more anecdotal than data-based. This session provides a compelling example of how, under the right conditions, consensus decision-making can be an extremely powerful tool. And it does so using extensive primary data from a contest held over more than 25 years. The session also considers the types of decision-making to which these techniques apply and how the widespread availability of information on the Internet has affected this decision-making over time.

I've folded this topic into my broader "How open is eating the world" proposal.
