Collaboration vs Consensus

Creating Passionate Users: The "Dumbness of Crowds"

This post, from one of my favorite non-library blogs, contains an interesting discussion contrasting the wisdom of collaboration (defined as individuals working together and maximizing their individual strengths) vs the inherent dumbing-down of consensus (defined as groupthink or lowest common demoninator). You may or may not agree with the definitions, discussion, and conclusions, but it's still an interesting contribution to our discussion on planning and decision making.
