Shyam, As an Implementation expert, I completely agree with your speech. However, I didn't see a solution imbedded in the words. (Bureaucracy + Hydra > Implementation) Any attempts to reduce the bureaucrats results in a Pushback > Implement Force. A rare exception was the Covid. The Space Race of the 60s was government in action. Before that, The Manhattan Project. But both of those successes had the fear of a foreign power gaining world dominance powering their sense of urgency. My favorite example was the mapping of the human genome. Craig Venter was originally on the NIH team responsible for this task. He was at odds with leadership about the fundamental approach of implementation. He chose not to fight the Hydra. He left the group and started a competing much smaller private organization. His team triumphed for all the reasons you call out in the above article. Hidden in Craig Venter's victory is the solution. When government attempts to solve a problem they need to create a David vs Goliath dynamic. The sense of urgency is built into the DNA of the smaller "entrepreneur" controlled team. Let both sides use AIP to measure and guide the progress. We already know the smaller private energized group is going to outperform 10 to 1. An EV Charging station can be designed in 48 hours. It can be built in a week to ten days. The prototype will undergo 100 iterations in a few months. Eventually Goliath will concede and we can move on to the next event. On a larger scale, this is how China rose to power so quickly. They established "Special Economic Zones", SEZ, that were given the freedom to operate under the rules of American Capitalism. The SEZ competed and collaborated on learning to thrive. Their success lifted the entire nation over the span of just 40 years.
