one of the factors that prevents teams from doing a good job with case analysis is their failure to put in the necessary time. Unless teams really tackle the issues surrounding case analysis--both the issues in the case itself and organizing how the work is to be conducted--the end result will probably be lacking because decisions that are made too quickly are unlikely to get to the heart of the problem(s) in the case. "meetings should be a precious resource, but they're treated like a necessary evil,"says Kenneth Sole, a consultant who specializes in organizational behavior. As a result, teams that care more about finishing the analysis than getting the analysis right often often make poor decision.
