· Speed of making decisions;
· Feeling comfortable in the meetings;
· Quality of output.
Discuss the possible reasons for these differences on each criterion. Explain why these differences exist and use the lessons learned from the variation with the better experience to suggest practical ways optimizing the variation with the less liked experience.
