“One of the strengths that we see for this crowdsourced approach is the amount of eyes
assembled to look at an issue in a short amount of time. For this reason, huge amounts of
information can be processed and synthesized much faster than with linear models.” – Tim
Haffner at U.S. Africa Command

That level of performance is rare. The data and information was rich and useful, but it was the
speed that blew me away – we found it hard to keep up.” – Dick Bedford, Deputy DCOS SPP,

4. Wikistrat’s crowdsourced analytic services model is:
4
AGILE: Different analytic teams are assembled, on demand, to analyze an issue in response to global, regional or
country-level events. This allows us to quickly tailor the assembled crowd to intensely analyze the issues at hand.
INNOVATIVE: Crowdsourced consulting leverages the insights and skill-sets of a large and diverse group of SMEs, all
collaborating in real time. Its superiority to an individually-driven analytic services paradigm is based on the model’s
ability to mitigate individual biases while simultaneously allowing the group to optimize the ideas and argumentation
of each individual.
RAPID and COST-EFFECTIVE: Crowdsourced consulting produces results at approximately one-third the time and
total cost of delivering an equivalent service through traditional means. An average Wikistrat engagement involves
between 80–100 analysts and typically delivers two years’ worth of effort (measured in hours) in three weeks.
Groups have greater intellectual diversity:
• They generate perspectives that would otherwise not be considered.
• This enables the group to consider a wider range of possibilities, and then choose amongst them.
Groups have greater analytical independence:
• They are better able to avoid the pressure to conform their analysis.
• This creates a mitigating tendency against a small group of heavily-biased, assertive individuals unduly
influencing the group’s thinking.
Groups have greater aggregative capabilities:
• The mechanism exists to turn individual minds (in expertise, intuition and judgment) into a collective judgment.
• The best decisions are often the product of disagreement and contest, not consensus or compromise.
