Collaboration between the stakeholders who have different profiles and cultures is the key to establishing successful plans and procedures that make sense operationally and can effectively contain and address adverse conditions.

... Understanding Airport Collaborative Decision Making 13 • Decisions made and data gathered during adverse conditions should be recorded; the toolbox proposes different recording tools. Regular meetings should be held for debriefing these events, identifying lessons learned, and enhancing the ACDM process -- especially individual procedures used during such events.

... 14 Airport Collaborative Decision Making (ACDM) to Manage Adverse Conditions If accurate flight departure readiness predictions could be made 30–60 minutes in advance, metering time requests could be made earlier, which could result in delay absorption at the gate before passengers board the aircraft, and in some cases, could reduce the amount of delay required.
