When we make decisions individually, the results can be all over the place. We may nail some of our choices, but be unsuccessful in others due to lack of expertise or not knowing what we don’t know. According to research by neuroscientist, Mariano Sigman, during a recent TED Talk, the wisdom of the crowd can produce the results we’re looking for when autonomy is falling short. By interacting with others through the thoughtful and reasonable exchange of information, crowds collectively come up with better judgments and have a stronger ability to solve problems.
