The external view of the situation often makes the difference, be it because of the technical input or just the unbiased, experienced evaluation. Providing fresh perspectives.
Curiosity is the basis to offer solutions and curiosity needs the freedom to ask to discover and utilise resources.

In addition it requires the respect for humans and the desire to reach a goal together.
