I like the use of personas to illustrate risk management in a creative and innovative process. To take your analogy one step further, the gambler you described plays his or her hunches at the table. A real gambler uses a bit more 'science' in knowing the rules of the house and the pitfalls and opportunities of the odds. A gambler approaches each game with a 'book' of decisions (always split those aces). The innovator should exercise some structured thought and planning to foster the creativity without stifling it with insecurity. Its part art and part science. Another great article, Mr. Dalton.
