Is the crowd a feasible design partner?

"When the sum is greater than the parts, it's invaluable.  When the flock aligns, nothing new emerges.  Can crowd share innovation - or crowd sourcing in the flesh - be exploited as a way to accelerate idea forming?  When and how does this approach have merit?  What are the associated issues and how are they dealt with successfully?"
