I'm going to go back here and bring some of my personal experience, as I said, as an auditor for about 20 years.
Yes, there is this problem of operations versus capital. In the private sector and the government sector, you have people who say “I'm procurement. I have to spend less money. That's going to cost more in operations. I don't care because that's not my budget.” That does happen, and it happens everywhere.
What you tend to get is the behaviour that you provide people with incentives for. If the incentive is at a macro level, which is “We want to get the cost savings down, we want to set goals and targets”, and you give people a process to do that, then you tend to get the behaviours you want and the overall betterment that's desired, be it in government or private industry. You get what you're actually looking for.
When you silo things, you tend to get people looking after their own best interest rather than the interests of the whole organization. By giving a process, goals, and targets, people will get there in a very cost-effective manner.
