How To Help A Project Team Develop Meaningful Conclusions

Why is it a problem that the project you are sponsoring is not developing (preliminary) conclusions? A key assumption is that the project is meant to develop conclusions and recommendations. There may be projects that have been given a responsibility for "Collecting all information". Assuming that the core reason for the project is to develop conclusions about a key issue, then it is naturally a problem if the project team does not seem interested in doing so. In addition, this is often a fairly scary problem, as it will typically come to light late in the process.
