The book will focus on harnessing the collective insight, knowledge, experience, and intelligence of the many in order to achieve a finished product that is richer and more useful than if it were written by one person. This open book project will be featured on a new online community Insight (http://insight.businessobjects.com) dedicated to sharing and analyzing data to solve real-world issues.
