(From now on my blog will assume that readers have at least read my book Mastering Change and highly recommend the Managing Corporate Lifecycles for further insights.)

‍Putting a complementary team together is putting decision-making first, before considering implementation.

Start with implementation. Those who will implement the decision should be involved in making it; otherwise, the decision will remain on paper.

How?

Begin by agreeing on a first draft of what you believe the problem is. Then assemble CAPI to solve this initial definition of the problem. Be careful: all CAPI components must share a common definition of the problem and a common goal to solve it. If you cannot assemble CAPI to solve the first draft problem, redefine the problem or redefine CAPI and reduce the magnitude of the problem until it is small enough that you can form CAPI. As the problem becomes better defined, you can change CAPI. The goal is: the problem must equal CAPI.

Next, check if the CAPI team has the complementary PAEI styles. If not, enlarge the CAPI until you have both CAPI and a PAEI team. You want PAEI to ensure that the diversity of styles will produce a decision that will make the organization healthy, and CAPI so the decision can be implemented.

Now this team diagnoses what was assumed to be the problem and redefines it. As the definition of the problem changes, so should the CAPI and PAEI composition of the team. PAEI/CAPI is like a heat-seeking missile: it changes as the location of the problem changes until it hits the target.

Once you have finalized the problem definition, check whether the team has CAPI to implement the decision arrived at by the diversity of styles. If yes, lead the team through eight steps to design the solution. If the existing CAPI is not sufficient to solve the problem, either scale down the solution to fit the CAPI or change the team composition to have CAPI.

Application to Trump’s Solution to the Middle East Problem

• The problem: war.
• The CAPI: Israel and the USA have (A).

The power lies with the Messianic Jews and with Hamas, as well as with the Arab and Muslim states. To bring them in means they share the interest in finding peace. That is not the case with Hamas and the Messianic Jews. Both parties want the continuation of the war, aiming that one of them will quit and leave the area, alive or dead. Since they do not share the same values and goals—i.e., peace— they need to be neutralized by the other power components. By the arab states.

In the case of Israel, if Bibi really wants peace he should remove the Messianic Jewish parties from the government and bring the peace-seeking opposition to power, while promoting any peace-seeking political force among the Palestinians that wants peace. As long as Ben‑Gvir and Smotrich are in the government and Bibi prefers them to peace-seeking Israelis and Palestinians, there is no capi to solve the problem , the war will continue and the abducted will die.
