A pattern: having a Chief Philosophy Officer.

That is, a "fool," a court jester, to help push back on the kayfabe of the organization.

Hire a Radagast to complement the Saruman CEO energy.

Try to tickle the company into novel perspectives by using safe-subversive techniques.

I've played this kind of role (unofficially) in many organizations I've been in.

This can be a dangerous role!
