Situation

There is a disconnect between high-level policy and regulatory implementation. Policies are often translated into complex, inconsistent, or impractical regulations.
Regulatory design lacks standardization and system thinking, leading to inefficiencies and unintended consequences.
Agencies interpret policies differently, resulting in fragmented execution.
Regulatory processes are slow to adapt and often lag behind strategic priorities.
This creates a gap between policy intent and real-world outcomes.

Shift

Establish a Midfield Unit responsible for translating strategy into clear, standardized, and executable regulatory systems.
Adopt system design principles to ensure consistency, scalability, and usability of regulations.
Standardize regulatory frameworks across agencies to reduce fragmentation.
Ensure continuous alignment between policy updates and regulatory adjustments.
Embed digital-first design into all regulatory systems.

Advantage

Clear translation reduces ambiguity and improves execution accuracy.
Standardized systems increase efficiency and reduce compliance burden.
Faster regulatory adaptation supports dynamic economic environments.
Improved alignment enhances overall policy effectiveness.
Digital systems increase transparency and traceability.

Additional Structural Advantage

System-based regulation enables scalability and easier upgrades.
Standardization reduces dependency on individual interpretation.
Integrated regulatory systems improve cross-agency coordination.
Design-driven approach reduces long-term complexity.

Implication

Without a Midfield Unit, policy will continue to fail at the execution stage.
Regulatory fragmentation will persist, increasing inefficiency and corruption risk.
Businesses will face uncertainty and operational challenges.
Strategic initiatives will not achieve intended impact.
Government credibility will be weakened.
