This paper argues that such groups are difficult to manage and that overcoming their weaknesses is more than a question of the good intentions, public dedication, and managerial competence found in the Mayor's Science and Technology Advisory Council of Philadelphia. The necessary management requires tough negotiation in focusing on a limited agenda of issues, formal preparation of experts by city staff, and follow-through on non-technical aspects of the innovation process. Such managerial requisites can seem contrary to the very notion of an expert panel of scientists and engineers.
