Sorry but no. What you see in corporate environments has nothing to do with risk management or product delivery, it’s often just pure ineptitude and useless people artificially trying to justify their existence.
- lolsal 3y agoThere definitely is waste in big corporations, but not everything you don’t understand is waste.
- steve1977 3y agoSure. But in the things I do understand, I know waste when I see it (and I see a lot of it). I actually couldn’t see it as well when I was younger and understood less.
- rmwaite 3y agoMany times in my life someone tried to tell me something that I disregarded as wrong or misguided, only to (years! decades!) later realize the that they were right in ways I just couldn't understand yet. I suspect (and hope) this will continue for as long as I remain introspective and willing to learn and grow. I feel like this is one of those things that only time and the perspective it adds can teach you.
- lolsal 3y agoI agree whole-heartedly. I’ve wasted many hours in security committee meetings. But then a CVE was discovered and we were able to respond in minutes. Earned our compensation 10x over with that preparedness, even if a lot of being prepared looked like downtime.
- steve1977 3y agoI‘m not sure if that’s the scenario OP describing. In my experience, that would be a company that spends hours in security committee meetings and then fails to react appropriately in an actual emergency.
- lijok 3y agoYou are attributing something to malice that can be adequately explained by stupidity. Few people are out there actively misleading stakeholders about why they're important. If that was the case, businesses would be rushing to fix that problem. What you're seeing is simply overly complex, highly inefficient product delivery pipelines, which have been grandfathered in, and would be too expensive and too risky to fix. So companies continue chugging along as long as the line goes up.
- steve1977 3y ago> You are attributing something to malice that can be adequately explained by stupidity Oh I didn’t intend to do so, that’s what I meant with ineptitude.
- lijok 3y agoMy bad, I misread your comment
- manicennui 3y agoPeople absolutely do because that is how you get promoted when you don't know what you are doing. The fact is, most of the people on the corporate world just don't need to be there. They add nothing and slow things down.
