Awesome. Thank you. Very similar to the "process" I've witnessed and documented. From memory:
1) Assemble non-experts, non-stakeholders
2) Misidentify problem
3) Establish quorum
4) Do not communicate decisions
5) Everyone runs off in separate directions
6) Assign blame
7) Repeat.
Given the challenges of organizational psychology (aka herding kittens), where trying harder won't change outcomes, I support the strategy of multiple competing teams, as detailed in the book Design Rules: The Power of Modularity.
