It turns out the experts are too often not the experts after all. Or if they are really experts, their expertise is often masked by their disruptive delivery! In any innovation exercise there needs to be expertise but no experts, since what you are trying to create is something totally new. Experts tend to require that they get to showcase themselves rather than defer to the synergistic collaboration of the whole group. If something is truly new and novel it would be impossible for anyone to have the experience required to be an expert. Even architects who are the “experts” of building and design are just creating variations of what they already know and operating inside very clearly defined parameters. The most exciting innovation happens when each participant is keenly aware of the need for passion and input from others in order to build something truly unique!
So, when building an innovation team or facilitating one make sure you leave out the experts and bring in expertise!
