The British instinct with complex problems is to draw on multiple perspectives rather than relying on a single analysis. Different people see different aspects of a problem, and consulting those closest to the situation or those with relevant expertise produces a better understanding than working alone.
This is not committee decision-making for its own sake—it is the practical recognition that individual analysis has blind spots and that pooling knowledge from different vantage points produces more accurate diagnosis and more robust solutions. A solution that has been tested against multiple informed viewpoints is considered stronger than one developed in isolation, because it has been scrutinized from angles the original analyst might have missed.
