Prevalent feedback loop is not work creation as much as role preservation: the perfect bureaucratic job is to march around with a clip-board inspecting things, and insisting that someone else does the remedial work.
Any number of modern excuses to over-analyse, over-control, over-report, over-audit and wallpaper with policies and processes that require second-order maintenance and oversight.
You can’t fix this from the bottom up: if your push down your cost challenge is to your seventeen risk control and audit functions, they will start at the bottom and trim fat, rather than reassessing their own architecture and raison d’etre. Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas.[1]
