However the challenge is not one of logic, but one of structures. A BICC by definition cuts across old lines of control and leads to organisational change. Pet projects have to be dropped, staff have to be realigned, software needs to be rationalised. All of this can be difficult to achieve, particularly across different countries and business groups and particularly where central control is weak. Finding a way to address these issues is the best and only way forward. Your conclusion that BICCs are the way forward is a good one. However the challenge is not one of logic, but one of structures.
