    Organisation, planification. It often happens when poeple want to keep resources not knowing when they will be used. If a clear planification is set, the share gets easier. All resources can be placed in one room with a signing system and maybe a planner to support anyone to use. It will support better organisation and allow a bigger amount of resources to be used when needed. Hopefully, it should minimise conflict. If not, a deeper clarity will be needed though conversation.

    Let me provide a more RADICAL solution... Two options, which can be used independently or in a sequence: #1 Skip the endless/useless meetings. Set a 48-hour timer for BOTH teams to propose one JOINT SOLUTION that maximizes company value, not departmental wins. #2 Create a resource marketplace where departments "bid" with actual BUSINESS CASES showing ROI. No more politics, just business-driven decisions. Remember: SHARED PAIN builds solutions faster than shared vision.
