Do things happen too slowly in your organisation? If they do, your organisation is constipated. Look at how decisions are made. Is anyone making decisions? If they are, how far is the decision-maker from the point where the decision is needed? Are committees involved without the requisite authority to make decisions? Does decision-making emphasise a chain of command, control and adherence to policy or procedure? How many layers of management approval need to be obtained before anything can be done?

I see this all the time in large organisations and it's frustrating and then depressing.
