Great article. Tone reminds me of the old 'Common Sense Training' by LtGen AS Collins. The idea about having IG teams maintain the good idea data bank is solid. Uses structure that exists and captures ideas that have met IG approval. A good practices and programs 'github' at some level would be a good thing. Probably is something like that at some Centers of Excellence, just disconnected. Although I'm not an advocate for centralization, sharing good practices at an appropriate level for consideration of use is a good thing. Also saves time when someone else has vetted the code for purpose already. As an aside, I was surprised to hear about dealing with paper awards issues in the Army. The USMC had been sucked into end to end digital awards management a long time ago...like the '00s. The digital Awards Program saved on crayons for snacktime, which I suppose is why we were ahead of the curve.

"Step one in our battalion S1 shop’s analogue process appeared to be: lose the paper copy." I laughed out loud.
