Fighting terrorism more efficiently by updating governance
I hate to say this, but Da'esh is obviously practicing up-to-date management methods (agile project management, management by objectives) and, as we know for longer, intelligent usage of social media. Whereas our governments and bureaucracies do not. And thus fail to recognize and combat the strategy of their enemy:
"Experts now believe that the Islamic State was actually adopting a strategy first put forward by an earlier operations leader for Al Qaeda, who argued that the group would become obsolete if it worked only on 9/11-size plots that took months or years to mount. He instead called for Al Qaeda to also carry out a pattern of small- and medium-sized plots, and to use propaganda to inspire self-directed attacks by supporters overseas."
(…)
"The same article says the group’s method for carrying out jihad in Europe involves an adaptation of Auftragstaktik, a combat doctrine within the German Army in the 19th century. Those tactical guidelines call for commanders to give subordinates a goal and a time frame in which to accomplish it, but otherwise to give them the freedom to execute it."
