    In my view, aligning objectives in a power grid design project with conflicting team goals requires a structured approach. First, I would establish a clear project vision tied to key performance metrics like efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Engaging stakeholders through transparent communication ensures that priorities are understood. Utilizing a collaborative framework, such as Agile or RACI, helps define roles and responsibilities, minimizing conflicts. I’d also facilitate trade-off discussions, balancing cost, timeline, and performance expectations. Finally, regular progress reviews with cross-functional teams ensure alignment, fostering a shared commitment to delivering a resilient and optimized power grid.
