As a business analyst, a lot of my job involves organizing meetings for design of new technology. I have noticed that "victory" in these meetings is simple - whoever is the most prepared going in, wins. If I walk in and say "So what do you want?" then I am guaranteed to have an hour or 3 of useless debate which ultimately will lead to nothing but more meetings. But if I walk in and say, "I know you want X, what do you think of my solution?" AND HAVE HANDOUTS WITH SCREEN MOCKUPS, 99.9% of the time people will just go along. A new study confirms my informal conclusions. Essentially, what they have found is that humans are more creative alone, because they do not self-censor based on the percieved consensus of a group. Groups, on the other hand, tend to gravitate to a few solutions quickly, and ignore all other solutions because "if they are not talked about, they can't be important."
Not sure how to get around this. Human nature is political nature, and humans need to feel part of the process before they'll accept change. But if you want a good design, you are better off with one person alone.
