The "broader picture" is sometimes lacking in the groups. Sans plus de contexte, je ne parviens pas à formuler. Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

agree  Claire Chapman: When someone can't see the forest for the trees, they cannot see the broader picture :-)

agree  Aude Sylvain: oui, v. large/élargie ; et on garde l'aspect ..."visuel" (sic) de "picture". Je pensais aussi à "tableau (plus) complet / d'ensemble", mais moins proche du sens anglais, et il est difficile de formuler une jolie phrase avec ces termes en l'espèce...

broader picture
(ils manquent) de recul


Explanation:
after thinking about this I imagine these (working) groups can't see the wood for the trees as mentioned above so what about this slant on it ? - they lack the right sort of detachment (although I wonder how this fits into the criticism of lack of corrdination)
