From what I've seen he seems convinced of the idea that Metro needs the equivalent of the fiduciary standards that govern some corporate boards. I think the crucial difference is that while (publicly traded) corporate boards are accountable to shareholders, they generally have more autonomy to do their own thing.

Meanwhile, you can put all the experts you want on the Metro board, but they're still going to be accountable to specific elected officials who want to please their constituencies.
