There is a growing body of literature around Dialogue and Collective Wisdom. The four books that I find most impressive are these:
Dialogue and the Art of thinking Together by William Isaacs
From Debate To Dialogue by Deborah L Flick
The Power of Collective Wisdom and the trap of collective folly by Alan Briskin, Sheryl Erickson John Ott and Tom Callanan
Solving Tough Problems by Adam Kahane
All the above are available through Amazon.co.uk

Dialogue – A Proposal by David Bohm, Donald Factor and Peter Garrett
Conversational Leadership – Thinking Together For A Change by Thomas J Hurley and Juanita Brown.
