One might be tempted to argue, indeed, that what is broken is the
proliferation of policies, written procedures, and other
administrative hurdles that large and mature organizations tend to
build for themselves. These start as an effort to make rules so that
the activities of the organization are consistent and low-cost, but
the imperfection of the rules tends to cause effort to be spent on
perfecting the rules. That attention to rule-perfection takes
attention from the very activity the rules were meant to facilitate.
I leave it to the gentle reader to evaluate to what extent the current
state of affairs matches that description.
