Hey, thanks for the reply! Those do seem like tricky problems, and specific to large enterprises.

Hard to put a pin on how those might be solved.

How have these affected your work?

Many projects have taken longer and been more stressful and had worse outcomes than needed. A lot of the work being done hasn't even been intended to deliver any business value, but to provide an opportunity for one or more people to be seen to be doing something. Actual value creation does occasionally take place as well, but more as a happy accident or a side effect than anything else. I'm very glad I'm not a major shareholder in any of these corporations.
