While most people think of innovators as the mercurial geniuses, it is a faulty stereotype as proven in the recent book released Mapping Innovation written by Greg Satell. Some steps have been suggested to build a team geared towards developing business innovations. As a first step, a psychological safety must be put in place, so that the employees are not scared to try out experiments as done successfully by Google in “Project Aristotle”. The talent recruitment process must be clear from the start, about the mission to match the people with the right positions. Instead of focusing on ideas, innovators must work on solving problems. This recruitment can instill even further creativity if the talent pool has diversity, as varying ideas then emerge. The top management must value teamwork, and instill among the employees a collaborative streak.
