In many ways, interagency coordination ain't bad.

The salient issue is arguably the lack of fundamental capabilities / effectiveness of individual agencies, not the coordination of the capabilities that do exist.

This is not a revolutionary observation. Many potential aspects to the "solution" from Goldwater-Nichols II to "J"PME on steroids and re-org of civil service. Many horror stories re the 90-day wonders on mega-differential pay and hunker-down-in-the-Green-Zone mentality. Some points of light from the Treasury guy with huge brass ones and the Commerce gal who could take down a bunker. But all solutions must revolve around the art of the possible and be sustainable during the intermittent periods of peace.

Rather than interagency, what do we do about the agencies?
