I look forward to reading more in-depth about each of these faces of innovation.

It seems we may play many of these roles in different parts of our lives. At least I see that within myself and other I know. In other words it seems these classification, as many things, are context dependent.

Where does the role of rapid prototyper, visual synthesizer or graphic facilitator fall?
In the many strategy and design projects I’ve been a part of, there has always called for a person or team to document, distill and design communication tools.
Without these maps, journals, models and prototypes the team’s thinking can disappate and unravel; the lexicon of visual symbols, metaphors and linguistic ques builds the culture both inside the process of innovation and during the process of implementation.
IDEO, of course, are exemplars of this process and worthy of emulation. Thanks, Tom, for creating another book that brings this practical magic to the rest of us.

Pagels, Leo
Just recieved your book from my son who lives in de States.
Very interesting. I live in Europe, The Nehterlands, and wonder if you have already developed a sort of test with which you can test yourself and/or others.
For your information: I am a trainer in communication and behaviour.
Thanks for your answer.

After reading the 10 Faces of Innovation, I could identify with EXPERIMENTER, COLLABORATOR AND CROSS-POLLINATOR. I found that these Ten Faces of Innovation are very much related or connected to Howard Gardner’s model of Multiple Intelligence. As the Owner / Creative Facilitator of Mix Interactive Learning this book will become one of many resources that I will turn to in my work.

Consider a person who has the formal authority of a group, doesn’t knows what he wants, doesn’t have any personal idea and he doesn’t even listen to your ideas because he’s the boss. When we deal with a devil’s advocate, he expresses his objections clearly, he tells you what he thinks is wrong, and that can help you to frame the problem. In this case, you only know your proposal will not make it, but you don’t know why or what can you do to improve it. I call this person a Destroyer.
