I think the answer is simple:
A means to address our concerns directly to him.
I have lots of ideas on how we could do things better and can see fundamental errors in the way we do business. But I feel powerless to do anything about them. I would love to be able to address these issues, but want to avoid retribution from those above me who haven't been as dynamic in their thinking. Too often the hierarchy use the system to dilute or dissolve good ideas, well before they reached anywhere near a serious level. We don't encourage dynamism - middle management find it threatening or subversive.
We need an equivalent of a confidential "CAS' Suggestion Box", where individuals can submit these ideas directly - possibly in a set format: situation/proposal/benefit - allowing those with the courage of their convictions to pitch their ideas at the right level. Some would be bolleaux, but if 1 in 50 is a good idea it would be worth it, not to mention the feeling of empowerment for those who want to retain a sharehold.
I often feel CAS isn't fed real world information, in favour of a candy coated RAF that doesn't exist outside the Red Arrows.
