Yet, despite the fact that we try, we cannot gain any ground.

Well that is your imperative, not ours. We are accountable to accomplish our own missions ..... You are accountable to accomplish yours. It would be time well spent to have 'real' conversations with the 'real' BGLOs with whom you are unsuccessfully trying to collaborate. There are certainly reasons that perhaps can be addressed and resolved, bridges that can be built ....If you are being rebuffed, it's for a reason. Can you honestly say that you know the reason and have attempted to address it? It's easier to make up a story about why it's happening instead of finding out why.
