There is no knowledge gap. There is an implementation gap!

A team workshop participant looked happy after intense discussions and experiences in exercises. Many lights had risen and pennies had fallen. The team's difficulties over the last few months and years were now explained. Problems were clearly identified. Very surprised was his reaction on my conclusion that the work just was beginning.
