No, it has not. In fact, in an answer to a previous question, I said that when I was there with my colleagues—not just me—we reduced the time frame by 40%. Five years later, it was in excess of what it had been. The process can work as long as you have people who know and understand and who are committed to getting it through the system, but you shouldn't be depending totally on that. You should have clear accountability.
Instead of simplifying accountability, we put in place all of these oversight committees, everyone checking everybody else until no one is accountable for anything. That's how you get sloppy. If you want results, hold one person accountable, measure them, and if they're not good, change them. It's not all that complicated. That's how the real world works; it works everywhere, except, frankly, in defence procurement.
