In order to move forward, a project or opportunity needs to bridge the gap between separate knowledge and interests => and <= stakeholder alignment on detailed processes and plans. The current approach is long cycles of meetings and communications in which information and consensus are gradually (and often incompletely and painfully) assembled. The problem is: the time and cost of the meetings, the calendar time required to get to action, the amount of rework that is generated, and the risk that the project will lose support.
