Yes, overly rigid workflows can unintentionally suppress experimentation. When approvals feel costly in time or effort, teams self-censor. Governance should enable safe innovation, not prevent it.

This is often a signaling problem. If leadership frames governance as protection rather than punishment, and streamlines review paths for low-risk experiments, innovation tends to rebound.
