The "late surprise" problem

[Spencer Dawkins]

Later Friday afternoon, Margaret made a helpful distinction to
me - some proposals add process layers vertically, while others
add process layers horizontally. If I understood Brian's
proposal, it adds a layer vertically, so think in terms of the
advantages and disadvantages of "adding a layer of management". 

Is there a way to add a SIR layer horizontally in Brian's
proposal? Is this what Raj's "workgroup empowerment" proposal
accomplishes?
