Wow. Once you start doing things in this bureaucracy manner it’s pretty much Game Over. The Moloch won.
I actually believe in a simpler solution: trust but verify. Let your managers make whatever decisions they decide and make sure that no form of corruption/nepotism will be tolerated. Then, if you happen to find an occurrence, fire the manager immediately and make it clear to his peers that this will happen to anyone who crosses the integrity line.
Trust and verify is a great idea, but it’s also been the downfall of many businesses. The larger an organization gets the harder it is to verify what’s really going on, and the executives who need to do the verifying have many other things to do, so it’s easily abandoned, hence why processes are implemented to allow the organization to work even when the some of the agents inside it are not aligned with the best interests of the business.
