  "summary": "A proposal that is clear to one profession may remain opaque to another. Influencing a cross-functional decision means making its consequences open to scrutiny, not merely presenting a persuasive argument.",

      "heading": "What the literature establishes",
      "point": "Paul Carlile (2002, Organization Science) examines knowledge boundaries between functions in new product development."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A complementary mechanism: being able to flag a problem",
      "point": "Amy Edmondson (1999, Administrative Science Quarterly) identifies an association between team psychological safety and learning behaviour."
    },
    {
      "heading": "The premature conclusion",
      "point": "It would be tempting to conclude that bringing different functions together around a chart and inviting everyone to speak is enough."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What the evidence cannot promise",
      "point": "Carlile’s study concerns product development, while Edmondson’s examines teams in a manufacturing company; neither is a study of organisations in Vaud."
    },
    {
      "heading": "A practical check in Lausanne",
      "point": "In Lausanne, an exercise in the “Manager par influence” programme could use a hypothetical medtech project involving a university to explore a trade-off between speed to market, scientific validation and regulatory requirements."
