Breaking Down the Silos of Expertise.
The world has become so specialized that information-- and great ideas-- are often kept in tight containers, accessible only to "experts." But individuals and organizations without specialized knowledge often need to understand complex scientific, technical or legal concepts in order to meet their goals. We facilitate that learning process.
The truth is, for most problems, there is not one discipline or one area of expertise that holds "the answer." The challenge is to bring together the unique combination of skills and knowledge needed to solve that unique problem.
One problem has been a myopic vision of what expertise actually is. A neonatal pediatrician may have deep expertise about medical interventions, and a pharmaceutical company may have deep expertise in the efficacy of a specific drug or device. But a parent who, for months, spends every waking hour in a neonatal unit has a depth of expertise in the workings (and non-workings) of our intensive care units that is truly unrivaled. Only when we tap into this expanse of expertise will we be able to create true quality health care.
The legal field has a similarly miserly notion of expertise. Convoluted writing, obscure references and archaic processes successfully repels most people, leaving only the annointed members of the bar to interpret and explain the basic rules of our society. Constitutional law is neither too complex nor too abstract for non-lawyers, and there has never been a more important time for all of us to move a bit out of our comfort zone to better understand the basic tools of our democracy.
These efforts requires people to enter unknown territory where usually only "experts" are allowed. This is where Blueberry Hill Strategies comes in. We work with clients to gather, demystify, blend and then make full use of diverse expertise in order to solve important organizational and societal problems. Let us help you break down the silos of expertise, and use every tool at your disposal to meet your goals.
