In my experience, it's a scale thing. It's endemic in enterprise organisations because they have the resources to hire dozens - even hundreds - of permanent employees whose whole job is organisational make-work. They used to pay McKinsey or Deloitte for a team of MBA assholes to helicopter that shit in. Now the rot's embedded in every organisation (and the consultants are still there to throw a new coal on the fire every now and then). It's a corporate version of the three-cup trick and, once you spend a bit of time at a big, publicly-traded org, you quickly realise there's about 15-20 highly competent, "entrepreneurial" in every one of them, desperately trying to keep these big oil tankers moving, despite all the idiots with little oars inadvertently paddling in circles.
