Emile Servan-Schreiber (cited in Bloomberg story):

Every company faces the challenge of [finding out] what our company really knows — how do I access it, when I need it, how I need it — to help drive decision-making or results

Note that Emile estimates the total value of the collective intelligence market, globally, at “roughly $150 million to $250 million”. Ah.

Forrester Research’s Roxana Strohmenger has been caught red hand sucking up to our Paul Hewitt.

Roxana Strohmenger (e-mail me at chrisfmasse at gmail dot com to get a copy of the report):

At the end of the day, a prediction market must have sufficient “information completeness” even if the individuals interacting in the market do not, to accurately predict outcomes with a reasonable degree of certainty.

Hyping enterprise prediction markets in Mashable

Chris F. Masse — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:05:20 +0000

Matt Fogarty of CrowdCast:

Business leaders rely on metrics and data to inform decisions around new products and opportunities, but traditional forecasting methods suffer from bias and lack of first-hand information. Thatâ€™s why business forecasting is an ideal target for the application of crowd wisdom. While bets are made anonymously, some prediction market software applications have built-in reward systems for accurate forecasters. And the accuracy of prediction markets over traditional forecasting methods is proven again and again. [...] Prediction markets will then aggregate this knowledge to produce actionable, people-powered forecasts. The result is an ultra-rich information source that will lay the foundation for smarter, better-informed company decisions. [...]

CrowdCast is an enterprise software platform that helps companies make better forecasts by tapping the knowledge stored in their employees.
