Kontras
Senior management have no real-world commercial awareness, dont use proper due diligence when making high-level strategic decisions. Their solution to a problem is to throw more people from the inner clique at it, despite their lack of subject expertise, thus increasing costs. They preach collaboration and inclusion but dont involve subject experts when making project decisions and setting objectives. Matrix way of working dilutes expertise, multiple people from each team have to be involved, this drives up project costs and kills flexibility and adaptability. No imagination or desire to explore different approaches to project management, just throw "what they know" at new projects. Dishonest line management at senior level, internal politics and cliques rule.
