A key idea is that they are iron cages where the ability to act outside the system is stifled, which in turn harms people who depend on an organization's response to a crisis.

How many of us have been or know someone who has been impacted by a hurricane, and then further victimized by a government who fails to provide relief to victims, or by endless processes, procedures and red tape that creates barriers to timely relief.
