Red Monkeys are key. A Red Monkey is a confrontational idea which disturbs the balance in people, teams and organisations. It is an idea that challenges established values and processes and thus generates both considerable support and resistance: it is therefore an opportunity for some and a threat to others. Innovation is the result of a Red Monkey which has survived the initial conflict between these two opposing points of view (p. 48).
