2. Jargon
Rapid prototyping vs. vaso vasorum
Disciplinary conventions
Maps or Blue prints vs. X-ray or C-Scan (check what’s up
and what down)
3. Mutually destructive one-upmanship
University A vs. University B
Company A taken over by company B
Professional jealousy
Ethics committees vs. innovators
Bureaucracy
4. No common understanding of others perspectives
Jargon, jargon and more jargon
Funding bureaucrats need to be brave, talk to each
other, think across disciplines and… excercise some
imagination
5. Obstructive conservatism (closed minded arrogance)
«Patient protection»; I am a medical professional (...
Who knows best for my patients) and this treatment
can’t be right (in spite of empirical evidence)
Incompatible cross-disciplinary mental perspective
(big egos)
6. Extended team knowledge base means that:
It is more likely that novel perspectives and solution
will be identified
There is a more efficient use of technology, money and
time
Real progress in shorter time frames and at lower cost
