2. Break Down the Innovation Silos Too often in our organizations we think about staffing our innovation projects in terms of silos or departments, instead of the roles that need to be filled for a product or service to be successfully completed, launched, and widely adopted in the marketplace. © Braden Kelley 2010

5. The Nine Innovation Roles Innovation is about the people © Braden Kelley 2010

6. The Nine Innovation Roles Revolutionary • The Revolutionary is the person who is always eager to change things, to shake them up, and to share his or her opinion. These people tend to have a lot of great ideas and are not shy about sharing them. They are likely to contribute 80 to 90 percent of your ideas in open scenarios. © Braden Kelley 2010

7. The Nine Innovation Roles Artist • The Artist doesn’t always come up with great ideas, but artists are really good at making them better. © Braden Kelley 2010

8. The Nine Innovation Roles Troubleshooter • Every great idea has at least one or two major roadblocks to overcome before the idea is ready to be judged or before its magic can be made. This is where the Troubleshooter comes in. Troubleshooters love tough problems and often have the deep knowledge or expertise to help solve them. © Braden Kelley 2010

9. The Nine Innovation Roles Conscript • The Conscript has a lot of great ideas but doesn’t willingly share them, either because such people don’t know anyone is looking for ideas, don’t know how to express their ideas, prefer to keep their head down and execute, or all three. This is the majority. © Braden Kelley 2010

10. The Nine Innovation Roles Customer Champion • The Customer Champion may live on the edge of the organization. Not only does he have constant contact with the customer, but he also understands their needs, is familiar with their actions and behaviors, and is as close as you can get to interviewing a real customer about a nascent idea. © Braden Kelley 2010

11. The Nine Innovation Roles Connector • The Connector does just that. These people hear a Conscript say something interesting and put him together with a Revolutionary; The Connector listens to the Artist and knows exactly where to find the Troubleshooter that his idea needs. © Braden Kelley 2010

12. The Nine Innovation Roles Judge • The Judge is really good at determining what can be made profitably and what will be successful in the marketplace. © Braden Kelley 2010

13. The Nine Innovation Roles Magic Maker • The Magic Makers take an idea and make it real. These are the people who can picture how something is going to be made and line up the right resources to make it happen. © Braden Kelley 2010

14. The Nine Innovation Roles Evangelist • The Evangelists know how to educate people on what the idea is and help them understand it. Evangelists are great people to help build support for an idea internally, and also to help educate customers on its value. © Braden Kelley 2010
