Expertise is the Enemy of Innovation - Innovation Leader Stephen Shapiro

Companies struggling to innovate may be suffering from an inadequate range of knowledge and perspectives. Companies have personalities; but a company's personality might repel the employee-base that can lend a critical point of view to business, killing innovation.

Boston, MA, April 18, 2011 (Straight Line PR) -- Our society has placed a premium on expertise and knowledge. But this expertise may, in fact, be the very thing inhibiting creativity and innovation from thriving within organizations. Schools teach the regurgitation of facts rather than independent thinking and creativity so individuals work tirelessly toward becoming masterful at their specific discipline. This attempt at mastery might be the very thing closing off companies from generation more creative solutions to their most daunting problems.

"I often say that expertise is the enemy of creativity. The more we know, the harder it is to see things differently because we get locked into old ways of thinking," explains Stephen Shapiro, Innovation Leader and author of Personality Poker. "Consider this. When you lose your keys, you look everywhere. After 15 minutes you finally find them. What do you inevitably say? 'Figures, it was in the last place I looked.' Well of course it is. Who finds something and keeps looking? The brain works the same way with solutions. Once the brain finds a solution, it stops looking. And as an expert, you will probably find a solution rather quickly, stopping you from seeking alternative and more impactful resolutions."

Stephen Shapiro's recent book and personality tool, Personality Poker ( http://PersonalityPokerBook.com ), highlights areas where organizations are expert and those where they may be lacking. This awareness allows for the creation of a more balanced portfolio of skills and abilities enabling a full range of creativity to emerge.

"When we are expert, we may generate solutions at a rapid pace; however the level of innovation exhibited in solving those issues decreases exponentially. How do you combat your own expertise? Diversify. Work with others outside of your discipline," says Shapiro. "If NASA is trying to solve a complex issue and gathers the top 100 aerospace engineers together to resolve, will adding one more aerospace engineer really make a difference? However if they add a biologist, nanotechnologist or musician to the mix, they may create enough of a divergent perspective to circumvent the most challenging problems."

AuraPortal BPMS to Support Handwritten Data within Processes through Digital Pen Integration

The Digital Pen allows handwritten data to be converted into digital format and leveraged immediately in AuraPortal Business Processes

Woburn (Boston), MA, April 18, 2011 - AuraPortal (www.auraportal.com), a global provider of Business Process Management (BPM), announced today the integration of Digital Pen technology within its BPM Suite. Integration has been done by its Partner Novotec Consultores.

Digital Pen provides a high level of automation to some of the primary activities of BPMS processes, such as filling out forms, incident management, evaluation and registration, online orders, and quality management.

"When filling in a form on a digital tablet, which appears to be plain paper but with a printed dot pattern that eases digital capture of handwriting, the digital pen captures and stores each text line through an optical sensor by sending the strokes converted into digital data to AuraPortal through a Web-based technology. This initiates its own internal process by automatically filling in the digital form fields and it integrates the document in a JPG format with the handwriting form ".

"This will allow us to start AuraPortal processes in real-time from data collected in traditional paper forms, as well as attach documents or images, using only a digital pen and a mobile phone".

Pablo Trilles, AuraPortal Vice President.

Some of the benefits of Digital Pen integration in processes are quick and effective information management, improvement in information transmission, improvement in account management, management monitoring, and its intuitive ease of use.
