> A more user-friendly way to approach the problem is to foster an institutional culture that sees the avoidance of checkpoints as a value unto itself. This is very hard to do, and I am hard pressed to think of any examples of organizations that have managed to do this consistently over the long term. Even in the short term, examples are few, and tend to be smaller organizations embedded within much larger, more traditional ones.

As I am fond of saying: "People don't scale".

The only way one manages to synchronize large numbers of people on a task is through coercive, authoritarian means, e.g., the military.
