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. <a href="http://r1.sharedcopy.com/1ce7i#shcp0" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <blockquote class="comment_body comment_body2" >"People implementing new ideas that create value."<a href="http://r1.sharedcopy.com/1ce7i#shcp1" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <p class="comment_body comment_body3" > I really love this definition because it is so simple.

One key component is having ready access to the available knowledge. This reduces the danger of reinventing the wheel and provides a solid foundation on which innovation may be built.<a href="http://r4.sharedcopy.com/6e7vnth7#shcp0" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></blockquote> <p class="comment_body comment_body2" > This is what the IT department does not get. <a href="http://r4.sharedcopy.com/6e7vnth7#shcp1" > ^{link &raquo;}</a ></p> </span ></span> seanabrady 4
