The problem is you'd have to get Whitehall to rethink its entire culture, away from public-school-inspired simple linear thinking to appreciating the real world with all its chaotic trans-contextual demands.

I did watch Nora Bateson try to start the process many years ago with some shiny new faces from the coalition government; it was most entertaining but not very successful - she still laughs ruefully when reminded about it.
