New Think Tank

The concept of gathering the best of brains and expertise from different sectors to enhance the implementation of an innovation that is hope to bring about great changes in a specific area can be known as the Think Tank. Within certain areas that this concept is used, the gathering of the expert is normally funded by the government. 
Think Tank is mostly used when organizations want to gain the knowledge and expertise from those concerns but do not have the available funds to run an innovation center (Penttila, 2007). The concept is adopted so that the require answer can be achieved. There are various forms of the Think Tank concept but I will discuss two such concepts.
Take it online:  This process enhances all involve parties to brainstorm the topic and can deliver the founding at any given time. A similar technique that can be used and has the same overview is the Delphi technique what gather ideas from experts who are all not that the same location. This type of brainstorming methods help the involve individuals to address the topic when much accuracy, since they are not under mass pressure to deliver their findings in rush. Since all the expert have enough time to come out with their results, every member in the group can contribute productively (Caliva & Scheier, 1992)
Combine ideas: The concept is implemented when during the process of brainstorming several well-informed ideas are gathered. Once there are several good ideas, this concept helps and encourage the merging of this ideas. This greater room for quality decision making due to mass ideas gathered. The concept also brings to like to but of both worlds there by getting the best out of the lot. This methodology help to get the best out of each individual member.

Conclusion
Think Tank is a very powerful tool to adopt around creation and innovation. The best way to get the best ideas in every area of change is through the act of collective sharing to ideas and the Think Tank concept make good use of the sharing and gathering of ideas through various concepts such those just discussed.
