You call a meeting of your product development team to begin work on a new market opportunity. Your team members include people from a wide variety of organizational functions, all of whom must work together effectively to get the new product developed on time and on budget. You are about to start your first meeting and want to get off on the best note possible as this is a big investment for your company.

When you state that the goal of the meeting is to "develop a premier intelligent semiconductor intellectual property solution that dramatically accelerates complex SOC designs while minimizing risk," several team members stare at you blankly.
