Before you make a big life decision, like resigning from your job or getting a new tattoo, you 'isangguni' it first to your friends, family, or a trusted expert. It's the corporate way of saying 'let's ask someone else so it's not my fault if this goes wrong.' Basically, 'to seek counsel' or 'to pass the buck for a second opinion'.
From the root word 'sangguni', which means 'consultation' or 'council'.
