Handelsblatt Online reports that economists start to discover that the wisdom of the crowd can better their forecasts regarding GDP developments and unemployment. “One single ant isn’t very smart, but thousands are capable of building huge societies based on the principle of swarm intelligence. Every individuum can make mistakes, but in the end the all the mistakes cancel each other out and the overall result is correct.” “Election results or sales figures – the crowd’s forecast often lies very close to the actual outcome” These statements confirm the trend, which is being followed by more and more companies.

Unfortunately, it is not always easy to make use of swarm intelligence in business.
