At a minimum, craft a tight agenda for each meeting and stick to it. Have a team take a pickax to the policies and procedures manual. Anything that hinders should be set aside and scrutinized. If there's no persuasive reason to keep it, chop it. Be ready to explain how each targeted item is anti-mission.
Most forms call for serious simplification while others can be eliminated altogether.
Anything in triplicate should immediately draw the ax's attention.
