This is obviously satire, but a significant problem organizations have as they scale is maintaining good taste--recognizing good solutions when they are presented.

Simply put, if that packet with a plan to automate away an entire department existed and was on a conference room table, no one would connect it to the business's bottom line. It would just go unnoticed. A typical corporate America manager would be unable to comprehend that something valuable was created that they were not asked to produce by their manager, and they did not ask their team to produce.
