That "one" need not be a single person. It could be a group, an organization.

And one person needs to take responsibility for the meta-task of creating and leading the group.

And one person needs to take responsibility for the meta-task of creating and leading the group.

Actually, the usual start for such things is not a single person, but a conversation. Sometimes you need one leader, sometimes a few "founders" work well, and occasionally even a committee (gasp!) suffices.

I don't think "faster" is the overwhelming criterion in this case.
