Abstract: In case ability to innovate means, that organizations need to continually check their processes and their routines, it will become more and more important to innovation management, that employees share their ideas, their suggestions and observations. However, hierarchy is a principle, that systematically excludes diversity in favor of the hierarchically prefered perception. Therefore in this paper it is suggested to take up the example of cockpit teams and change from hierarchy to participation when needed. In this case cockpit teams succeed to match better finding solutions. This can safe lifes in diffuse and hard to analyse situations. On the basis of two case studies some difficulties of such changes in organizations will be pointed out.
