There is alot of wastage and this still comes back to affect the private intitutions in terms of tax.I am sure that when the public intitutions will take a step the real benefits of being lean would be seen by all.

From what I have seen, certain locations of state or federal offices with leadership who take a "customer first" approach to fulfilling regulatory requirements have a fair amount of freedom to change processes in-house. I agree with the assertion that using a "best practices" mentality to share processes that work would serve to reduce waiting time for citizens who, after all, are not only the customer, but also the shareholders and financiers.
