According to to Brian Safron, a product manager at IBM, this is due at least in part to business knowledge being spread across a wide range of subject matter experts.

It comes from a &#39;customer first&#39; focus. This is a simple idea and very easy to dismiss as clich&eacute; but it challenges our belief that our own brilliant, creative ideas may not necessarily be the best one. When we have a &#39;great idea&#39;, many of us &nbsp;cling onto it for dear life. A true customer focussed ethos requires we give up our egos in order to listen to the customer and respond to their needs in a systematic, business-focussed way. It&#39;s a little like becoming a humble servant rather than aiming to be a great leader with all the great ideas.
