“…Innovation is considered a multi-step process that is interdependent and dynamic yet involves conflicting cognitive and teamwork processes for teams engaging with a novel problem. The processes that are essential for team-level innovation more broadly include problem construction, idea generation, and idea evaluation ( Reiter-Palmon et al, 2008 ; Leone and Reiter-Palmon, 2022 ). Several theoretical conceptualizations of the team innovation process suggest these processes are dynamic where teams move forward and refer back to the earlier creative process to resolve problems and limitations as the idea comes to fruition ( Nonaka, 1994 ; Stenmark et al, 2011 ).…”

As innovative endeavors have become more complex and time-intensive, there has become an increasing reliance on expert teams in organizations. Expert innovation teams are comprised of team members with extensive experience and mastery in a particular discipline. These teams utilize fluid membership that expands the available knowledge of the team but creates challenges for effective teamwork. We argue that the mechanism for creating an enduring impact and developing a product to fruition requires the cognitive and social integration of fluid team members. This article focuses on how teams effectively integrate knowledge with diverse, and possibly fluid, team members and how teams can organize knowledge through planning and reflection to implement the idea successfully. Knowledge integration and team reflexivity are considered in tandem to emphasize the multi-faceted nature of generating and implementing innovative solutions and the conflicting teamwork processes that hinder innovative efforts. To understand how these competing teamwork processes required for successful innovation interact, we developed a framework that considers resilience as the factor that elicits team creative performance. In doing so, we discuss how innovation teams build resilience over time and how creative failure can lead to greater levels of innovation.
