• Thomas W. Malone, Professor of Management, MIT Sloan School of Management
• Robin Hanson, Professor, Economist, Polymath, George Mason University
• George Neumann, Professor of Economics, University of Iowa

Many social entrepreneurs, practitioners and solution vendors have risen to the challenge of collective intelligence. These breakthroughs make harboring intelligence and releasing collective wisdom an everyday, routine activity. Enterprise prediction markets are practical and deliver enormous cost saving and improvements every day. Pursuit of collective intelligence is a responsibility of all individuals, organizations and entire ecosystems.

Join these market innovators and suppliers to chart the future of enterprise prediction markets and collective intelligence networks on April 24 in New York City:

• ConsensusPoint: http://www.consensuspoint.com/ 
• Crowdcast: http://www.crowdcast.com/  (formerly Xpree)

Adoption, deployment and success of innovations like collective intelligence networks, consumer and enterprise prediction markets require three specific conditions to be present and to be continuously developed. They are:

• Transactions (purchase, activation);
• Conversations (diffusion, adoption);
• Relationships (retention, growth).

Prediction market websites, vendors, blogs, and so forth furnish the transaction capability, of course. At this stage of the diffusion curve, the other properties are especially important.

Proximate conversation and diverse, robust relationships propel word-of-mouth, tacit know-how and social network adoption and pull-through. Communities, networks and clusters deliberately and actively provision the key properties of conversation and relationship, in a low-cost, intimate configuration. Clusters are non-commercial and not for-profit. This assures the success of suppliers, practitioners, traders, leaders, managers and stakeholders through all stages of the adoption lifecycle.
