> A government organization generally does not need an innovation doctrine to avoid being outcompeted because they face no meaningful competition

Maybe true for some government organizations, but not true on the whole.

Governments spend billions (and sometimes trillions) on innovation to compete with each other. Collectively, government programs probably account for 99.99% of all "innovation" spending.

And they have the highest stakes when it comes to being "outcompeted".
