Broader team skill set

„Diversity is the fertilizer of innovation. (…) Comfortable social situations are actually

barriers to innovation. When all of a company’s managers are from the same

background (or are the same gender or race), the company tends to stop innovating

and runs into trouble.”Business Innovation For Dummies – A. Hiam

Risks of multidisciplinary teams

Communication problems (different terminologies)

Different motivations

Scepticisms towards „others”

3 types of differentiation: professional, personal (type of

character), demographic
