The OLCS team, "The Flexible Deliberators," swiftly identifies and precisely interprets new information. They spot the implications of trends or changing data quickly and consistently. This is essential in environments that demand staying ahead of fast-paced developments. Teams in consultancy and strategic planning often exhibit OLCS characteristics, as they need to incorporate diverse inputs and adapt to new information.

However, the OLCS teams' commitment to inclusive, consensus-driven decision-making can stand in the way of them translating insights into action. Each member's involvement in decision outcomes fosters a deep sense of ownership and commitment across the team, but can also lead to prolonged discussions as they strive for unanimous agreement. And their spontaneous execution style, although flexible, can lead to chaotic implementation; combined with their rigorous communication and analytical skills, it can also lead to analysis paralysis or the team “spinning its wheels” instead of getting to work.
