This is a perfect example of how individuals actually in a situation often come up with better solutions by experimenting than those who simply analyze it from above. They threw all the resources at it and it was their job to throw those resources and to think long and hard analyzing the problem. And came up with something complex and budgetable and that others would support. But the guy directly affected probably spent no time thinking about it. Potential solutions probably just popped into his head and he tried them. Which is probably why extremely decentralized companies like Semco in Brazil (run by Richard Semler, as he wrote about in the book Maverick) do so well. Workers own the processes and share in 39% of the profits. Workers actually create new products and businesses.
