John: “More minds is not just more volume of ideas but more variety.”. I see this power in action almost every day – that mindshare from a group of talented people is unbreakable. I hate this word, but it’s a true synergy. I also think the most important thing to keep in mind here is that it’s not only the number of people involved, but the variety of skills, backgrounds and viewpoints that are important. Innovation and new ideas that solve real problems happen on the fringes of the organisation, in the cross-section between divisions or discipline areas. Encourage communication throughout the organisation across divisions and your business will become an agile problem solver.
