    I've always believed that decisions are taken by single person. However, often seen in corporate world, committees or 'focus groups' are setup to take decisions. In my experience a group can never arrive at a decision and best decisions are taken by a well-informed person with access to facts.

    What's your take on this?

    Yes Biggie, whenever I sit for designing, I am unable to make up with other person. Because most of the time either one of the person is making nuiscence.

    Best way is that each person takes decision (design) independently and then to take opinions from other team members.

    What is your take on this people?

    As I mentioned in another place, Sir C.V.Raman apparently used to write the minutes of the meeting BEFORE the meeting and conduct it according to the minutes.

    A UN rep once told about such meetings:
    'It is like elephants making love. Everything happens at a high level. A lot of noise and dust is generated. You have to wait ages for results.'

    I sit quietly and doodle or create a mind map in such meetings. I prewrite my short comments and present them if asked.

    If the items on the agenda are important I inform key players in advance about my views and let them handle the agenda.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
