That’s why NewsFutures is organizing a Wisdom of Crowds Consulting Workshop, in New York City, on October 27.

It is designed primarily for business consultants who would like to acquire working knowledge of “WOC”-based solutions, or for the manager looking for some hands-on experience while considering the potential of this approach for his or her company.

The one-day program will cover:

  • Foundations
    Prediction Markets and Wisdom of Crowds 101: principles, mechanisms, evidence, and applications
  • Applications
    Case studies in strategy, forecasting, innovation, and project management
  • Tools
    Hands-on experience with various wisdom-of-crowds software tools: Prediction Markets, Competitive Forecasting, Idea Pageant, and Impact Matrix
  • Practice
    Keys to a successful implementation: information, integration, inclusion, interface, and incentives
  • Collaboration
    Nuts and bolts of working with NewsFutures

I look forward to seeing you in NY, home of the world’s financial meltdown!
