Why not analyze which existing control steps are bottlenecks, with the goal of removing unnecessary steps, in addition to introducing new controls?

Senator Colin Deacon makes this point in a recent episode of Let’s Think Digital:

-

“In the middle of the pandemic, […] CERB [… was] a digital first delivery. […] To get CERB up and running in three weeks. Phenomenal. We can do it. But there's no ‘that was just because of the pandemic.’ That should be what we are, we should have that attitude with everything we're doing right now.”

“In the middle of the pandemic, […] CERB [… was] a digital first delivery. […] To get CERB up and running in three weeks [was p]henomenal. We can do it. It shouldn’t be ‘that was just because of the pandemic.’ That should be what we are, we should have that attitude with everything we're doing right now.”

Senator Deacon is right. The pace at which we were able to deliver during the pandemic is what we should strive to continue in a sustainable manner, rather than returning to our outdated controls that generate enormous documents (and making them even enormous-er with new controls).
