Our understanding of the unpredictable inter-dependency of multiple forces means that more experimental approaches to creating new solutions are necessary.
But these can inhibit the understanding of the problems and the use of appropriate methods to their solution 47.
Recognition then, is a heuristic that leads away from conflict into a broader understanding of the complexity of a disputed subject 62.

Therefore it was important to ensure a congruent understanding of the visions among the experts.
After discussing the variations of the perception of these visions the project team decided that the slightly differing understandings remained within a tolerable interval.
A deepened understanding of the different points of view and perspectives was achieved compared to many other approaches looking for early convergence rather than emphasising divergence.
