Clearly define the objective with the team. Listen actively, be transparent, and value everyone's input. Prioritise options, set clear goals and timelines, and collaborate. Monitor progress, improve, and repeat. Healthy debate can lead to better outcomes. If there's disagreement, find common ground and use data to support decisions.

The key element is to work with the team and define the Objective Clearly. Make sure your team is heard and be open to communication through being transparent and active listener. Based on whatever is learned, come up with below key steps: 1. Assess and Prioritize Options in hand. Create short, medium and long-term goals 2. Create checkpoints and make sure stakeholders are engaged for their feedback. 3. Set clear expectations and timeline - You can use any key success model for cost savings percentages, resource utilization rates, etc 4. Collaborate 5. Monitor 6. Improve 7. Repeat

Healthy conflict should lead to better outcomes. If there are different opinions within the group... great, make sure that all of those perspectives are put forward. Then its a case of working towards goals that the whole team can commit too, even if not everyone agrees. If you are mediating this discussion, its important to move beyond the different perspectives into some form of action plan. I suspect that there will be some common ground that everyone agrees on (in the cloud context, that could be ensuring the existing estate is as optimised as possible). If there isnt data to support decisions, then there are plenty of tools out there (native and third party) that can help with that.
