More TEAMS Less BUREAUCRACY to Improve Defense Acquisition & What are OT Condominiums?

In this episode, Strategic Institute, highlights their long standing message of teaming for success.  It is widely believed that family is the essential building block of society/civilization, just like a team is for any significant endeavor or enterprise.  Federal Acquisition by-and-large does not seem to respect how critical the team is in contributing to success of a program or project.  To say that the DoD and FedGov need to revamp their philosophy in regard to assembling effective teams focused on mission is an understatement.  DoD's default is to add layers of bureaucracy, a new innovation cell or some cool new department with "X" in the title - add more bureaucracy.  What leadership has been really bad at is identifying, creating, and maintaining 'killer' teams that can knock-it-out-of-the-park!  The focus need not be on creating new bureaucracy, but on the smaller pieces, the ingredients - the team.  

DoD and FedGov has more senior 'leaders' than any other time in history?  If they are not assembling effective teams, empowering and protecting them, so they can best accomplish their mission, then what are they doing?!  Seriously, that is literally their job!  DoD acquisition needs good people and even better leaders to stand up, take responsibility and use the tools they have been given.  It's time to think about how it puts together teams both internally and with external players too.    

Rick Dunn also make a good point that the 'so-called' Other Transactions Consortia model functions like condominium and not like consortia at all.   

Why do you think DoD and FedGov fails to conceptualize, much less foster excellence in teaming?     

More teams, less bureaucracy
