"..the capacity for iterative-rounds of team building, rather than the diversity of solvers, is probably the factor to isolate when we think about why various types of crowdsourcing work. Howe is surely right when he says that crowdsourcing yields a superior, more diverse team. The team is not superior because of its diversity, though, but because it was assembled in the course of the problem-solving process. This allows the problem itself to determine the competency profile of the team needed to solve it, not some ousider’s ideas about what competencies will be needed."
