Competition for resources is a given in many organisations and institutions. Researchers compete for research grants, filmmakers compete for production funding, entrepreneurs compete for capital. 
In all these contexts, the fairness of the competitive process is crucial to its acceptance. People will accept the outcomes without complaint if they know they’ve had a fair chance – even if the chance was small.


How ‘wise crowd’ competitions foster innovation

A trusted decision process enables the risk-taking and buy-in that are crucial to real innovation. We are talking about wise crowds.

Wise Crowds trump committees

You might think a crowd must mean a lot of people – 100s or even 1000s of people. But it turns out a wise crowd can be much smaller than that.
