Agreed, but the majority of the recommendations in "Enabling Acquisition Change" are either (a) mandated policy (b) common sense and used by experienced PMs anyway (c) long standing suggestions which have been rejected by past and current DPA/DLO management or (d) a return to previous policies (some of which were tried and tested and should never have been cancelled).
My suggestions: Identify projects (and their managers) which have been effortlessly delivered to time, cost and performance. Put these people in positions of authority - if only as troubleshooters in the first instance - and learn from them. And for goodness sake sack the fraudsters who condone and practice deliberate waste of public funds and who abrogate their responsibility on an industrial scale.
