- Early expertise and overspecialization do not equate to success. Having a breadth of knowledge is key to solving issues that cross different disciplines.

- An extensive explanation of the benefit of the breadth of knowledge and the risks of super sub-specialization. Loss of cross-communication between silos of isolated components.

Gathering 10 specialists who all share the same knowledge and experience to focus on one issue can easily lead to a dead-end- without the benefit of new and fresh ideas, the team ends up in a loop. Diversity can exponentially increase problem-solving by drawing from different perspectives, viewpoints, and thought processes.
