    My focus would be on using the action learning process to facilitate the teams’ resolution of their conflict over priorities. I may ask the teams reflective questions like:
    What would be the impact if we focused on only one problem at a time?
    How might we break down the top priority problem so that each team can contribute effectively?
    What is the potential overlap between our work on different problems, and how can we share resources?
    What are the mutual benefits if we share our approaches to solving different parts of the priority problem?
    How can we leverage our combined expertise to achieve a solution more effectively?

    I would invite representatives of all teams to an Action Learning session where they would solve the problem on how to agree on which team should work on what problem.
