Case studies and good advice, while they exist, are from "previous generations" and "we do it differently" because "culture". It feels like society has to continuously reinvent solutions to managing people and projects rather than building upon proven and effective strategies. I guess, perhaps, I am betraying my own lack of knowledge of this domain. Maybe there are tried and true tactics and I've just never experienced them. Related, it really feels like there should be a sub-field of "sociology" set on improving the efficiency of groups of humans using objective methodology that yields consistent and reliable results...
