  •  In modern management practices there is a term  and process called Catchball   which  originated from a planning process known as Hoshin Kanari. Catchball is    defined as: 

     

     “a communication process in which parties  engage in a series of   information exchanges about the means for  achieving a particular objective. The   purpose  for the exchange is to build consensus around the best approach for    achieving an objective. Catchball is based on  the belief that the best approach   will  evolve from the back and forth exchange of information between the  person   who is  responsible for achieving the objective and the persons who will be most    influential in achieving it. The secondary  benefit from using catchball is a   higher  degree of commitment to achieve the objective.”
