N2  - An assessment of the apparently counterintuitive proposition that collective intelligence is more likely to produce right answers than clever or intelligent individuals. The book makes clear that it is not an argument against expertise but that expertise is just one among many factors. Discusses how organizations could benefit from corporate wisdom (though if all organizations applied the concepts then the advantage might prove elusive). This edition includes a new afterword by the author
