Nah, that obvious solution is equally corporate. I cannot tell you how often I’ve had to pull out this question in meetings with software management:

“It takes a combined orchestra and chorus of 120 people 70 minutes to play Beethoven’s 9th symphony. If we double the number of performers, how long will it take?”

I feel like the whip chain should be aimed at the workers on front of them instead of all on the horse.

Sack the horse and bring in one that’ll be stuck just as bad, but will do it cheaper
