The 10 Faces of Innovation | Fast Company

   "The devil's-advocate gambit is extraordinary but certainly not
    uncommon since it strikes so regularly in the project rooms and
    boardrooms of corporate America. What's truly astonishing is how
    much punch is packed into that simple phrase. In fact, the devil'
    s advocate may be the biggest innovation killer in America today
    . What makes this negative persona so dangerous is that it is
    such a subtle threat. Every day, thousands of great new ideas,
    concepts, and plans are nipped in the bud by devil's advocates"

   ""People implementing new ideas that create value"

  I really love this definition because it is so simple. It is
  easy to break down and explain to people, and allows you to see
  Innovation as a people driven process. The inclusion of the
  implementation portion is important as well
