It's more a combination of design by committee, "there are no stupid ideas", and business school fuckwits who feel compelled to prove their leadership by making their mark, so what you get is the centroid of "actual improvements" and "proof that not only are there stupid ideas, most ideas are stupid."

The only solution I've ever come up with involved blunt instruments, and it has some obvious drawbacks.
