All good ideals, but no way to execute them with so much management in the way. An important point for industries dominated by bureaucracy, oligarchy, tenure, and political favoritism.
I work for a research and education network, and the only way to challenge management is via board members who cycle every three years and have little stake in the business, if any.
Larger telecoms are so hierarchical that any progress you might make could be wiped out overnight by some c level or VP who feels threatened or jealous of your team's output.
With consulting firms, we just outsource the hierarchy to a third party and put up blinders to what we work on behalf of.
If anyone is hiring for a data analyst, data science, or general software development role that has high social impact -- please let me know.
