My conclusion is that this "chaotic scenario" happens when humans work in big groups. It's extremely hard/pretty much impossible to coordinate big group of humans and made them to work efficiently. In fact, this is one of the reasons by which nowadays, I personally prefer to work on a small start up environment instead of a big corporation.

It is possible, they just need to spend more than half of the work day in coordination meetings and doing paperwork.

And not many organization are willing to pay thousands of people to do paperwork to help other departments do their paperwork more effectively and so on.

Or somehow they found a group of extremely trustworthy and reliable employees who will never fudge the truth even at the cost of their jobs/reputation/etc...

Where have you seen this where the group is > 500 people?

If you mean the latter, I haven't.
