Will New Thinking Ever be Applied to Federal Acquisition?

In this episode, Strategic Institute, reiterates their main points: that focus on new concepts and ideas in 'teaming' to make the best use of talent and better fulfill mission goals, and applying critical thinking to the use of flexible acquisition authorities.  These ideas have been broadly rejected by bureaucrats and insiders who vehemently protect the status-quo of 'teams' remaining in their silos fulfilling their functionary duties, keeping them separated, and applying compliance oriented FAR-think to hurry up and create process out of flexibility before understanding the potential and opportunities.  

The question remains, is the current thinking which has essentially gone unchanged for decades (50+ years), really the right approach as insiders would have us believe?  Without even a small shake up in thought, much less a revolution, will efforts to 'streamline' the FAR and the use of flexible acquisition authorities for R&D produce more of the same?  Predictably, yes.  How can it not?    

This moment in time is brimming with opportunity and the need for change has never been more pressing, yet bureaucrats and insiders seemingly are unable to operate outside of a process (compliance) for process sake...  Prioritizing mission  and goals, assembling high performing teams, and exploring the flexibility Congress has provided (and mandated) is either too hard and too much or simply not incentivized and championed?  What do you think?
