One rough translation for the first two lines there would be: Look for the orgs that are "getting shit done" and then "figure out how to unblock the people who want to get shit done in the other orgs based on how the currently-productive ones do things, and make that a company-wide policy."
In any large company things will have changed since the org was founded, so some of what used to work won't be efficient any more. So you both have to spot what's working now vs what used to work, and also figure out how to get a sufficient group of "doers" (vs just middle management) that they should buy in even though a lot of people won't be super motivated for the classic Office Space reason: "Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime; so where's the motivation?" - and you often are going to have to do it without that motivation being just financial.
