Summary

Tom Kelley's 2005 account of ten roles that drive innovation in organizations — from the Anthropologist and the Experimenter to the Collaborator and the Storyteller — as a counter to the devil's advocate who kills ideas.

Core Contribution

Creates the innovation roles framework — the ten personas provide organizations with a vocabulary for distributing innovation responsibilities across teams rather than assigning creativity to a few designated innovators.
