Removing constraints (aka increasing flexibility) seems like a good bet, even if you don't know exactly how it will be helpful (all things being equal - i.e. you don't add new constraints/trade-offs) . There are forces/demands applied to everything, and things settle into an equilibrium of trade-offs between those forces (provided you don't add onerous new constraints). If you release some constraints... you can enable a shift to a new equilibrium of trade-offs.

The greater the number of constraints you can release, to a greater degree, the more likely you are to prompt a revolution.
