Well, I mean some mental models have to develop at the various levels of the organization. I used the term `motivation' to mean the process of understanding enough of a sub-problem to propose a solution. If the problem is hard, the it may have to be sent out to all of the leaves of the organization and come back to even determine feasibility. On the other hand, if there is a small super-knowledgeable and super-capable cadre of workers, there is less of this percolation to wait on..
