A Front Row Seat on Innovation with IdeaConnection’s Facilitators

February 28, 2014 By IdeaConnection

160-problem-solver-interviewsIdeaConnection’s challenge teams work for short and intense periods to deliver groundbreaking solutions to clients.

Helping them to achieve their creative and problem-solving goals is a team of world-class facilitators.

Periodically, we publish interviews with our most successful facilitators who talk about how they help to drive innovation forward. Here’s a short selection of some of their choicest quotes, with links to the full interviews:

Working with People who Think Outside the Box – Sue Adams: “We’re harnessing the power of crowdsourcing but we remove the inherent weaknesses of crowdsourcing….

“…it’s actually a privilege to work as a Facilitator and to work with such intelligent people that want to think outside the box, that see innovation as a means to solving challenges of our future world.”

Believing I have the Dream Team – Pat Naylor: “I always go into the challenges believing that this is the team, this is the ideal team, the dream team; we’ve got the dream team…

“…I think it’s the way forward for businesses and academics alike in the world. Just bringing together people that may never have crossed paths before, and getting them to connect and come up with ideas can only be a good thing.”

Beyond the Box – Peter Lloyd: “I’m the first one to ask a dumb question, and that’s how I get people to start thinking outside the box. And maybe that question isn’t so dumb after all because it creates a safe place for new ideas.

“One of the problem solvers might say, ‘I had this dumb idea’, and I will encourage that person. From my experience, if you keep working on ‘dumb’ ideas they can turn into great ideas.”
