#Policy recommendations to reduce decision-making conservatism and project delays To solve the problem of project delays that may be caused by conservative decision-making, the following policy measures can be considered： ## Optimization of decision-making mechanism 1. **Implement a hierarchical decision-making system**: Set up different approval processes according to the size of the project and the risk level, so that small and low-risk projects can simplify approval 2. **Set up a decision-making time limit system**: Set a clear time limit for the approval and approval links at all levels, and pass or force decisions by default during the timeout. 3. **Introduction of parallel approval mechanism**: Replace the traditional serial approval process and shorten the overall approval time ## Risk management improvement 1. **Establish a risk sharing mechanism**: Clearly stipulate the criteria for determining responsibility for the failure of innovative projects to reduce the pressure on personal decision-making 2. **Set up a "fault-tolerant mechanism"**: provide protection for decision-making errors within a reasonable range and encourage responsible innovation attempts 3. **Develop clear evaluation criteria**: reduce ambiguity and reduce the tendency of decision makers to be overly cautious ## Adjustment of incentive mechanism 1. **Establish an innovation incentive system**: reward efficient decision-making and successful risk-taking behavior 2. **Implement performance appraisal reform**: Add decision-making efficiency and innovation indicators to the evaluation system 3. **Set up a rapid decision-making award**: Reward teams that can accelerate the decision-making process under the premise of ensuring quality ## Culture and Capacity Building 1. **Decision maker training project**: Improve scientific decision-making ability and reduce the tendency to make decisions based on intuition or overly conservative 2. **Introduction of external professional consulting**: Provide objective third-party opinions for major decisions 3. **Organizational culture construction**: Promote an organizational culture that accepts moderate risks and innovation It should be noted that these policies should be adjusted and implemented according to specific circumstances, and respect the cultural characteristics and actual needs of different regions.
