You can't do carpentry, you
know, if you only have a saw, or
only a hammer, or you never
heard of a pair of pliers. It's
when you
put all those tools
into one kit
that you
invent.
Many large enterprises are well
equipped for innovation. They
invite staff to
move from one
discipline to another so as to
break down the silos that can
isolate different departments.
People are encouraged to move
from manufacturing into sales or
from research to finance... It
encourages people to see things
in different perspectives.
