Don’t wireframe it - Sketch it
That is the general idea behind Adaptive Path’s Brandon Schauer “Sketchboards: Discover better and faster UX Solutions” article.

Quick sketching on a big surface encourages team participation and neccesary feedback from both other team members and clients, so nailing down the best approach for a formal wireframe becomes easier and in a more natural way. Something I could easily agree with.
