In an agency, there's the handful who are considered to be "in-the-know" about interactive (when in reality, their experience is quite limited), and then there's the handful who know too much, and are blockers for the creative folks. Getting creatives and the technical folks to talk to one another (and speak the same language) is a significant hurdle as well. What's needed in many cases is someone (doesn't matter which side they come from), who is knowledgeable enough to understand the needs/requirements of both sides and help find a sound/workable technical solution for creative ideas.

I have been on both sides of the table (client side and agency side), and sometimes found myself sitting there alone.... Fundamentally, I believe that if you get the right people around the table, flesh out the ideas/proposals, goals, and trust what each person contributes to the project then the end result is "better work". However, in the interactive world, you must have people around the table who understand the medium completely, so you don't get "really creative, creative" that looks glam on a print proposal but is not executable in the online world.
