Hello,
I have read the following in the Quality Digest:

During the brainstorming process, Graham says, a number of �elephants in the room� are introduced and dealt with, providing yet another benefit to an organization�s successful product or service.


What do you think they mean by �elephants in the room� in this context?

Every one is ignoring the elephant in the room is a way of saying that there is a difficult problem that nobody wants to deal with.
Immigration is an example of an elephant in the room in some countries.

Thank you very much.
