While I fundamentally agree with you, this sadly is not really a possibility for me as a consultant. LoB wants to speak face to face. They want presentations and for things to be explained in bite-sized chunks. Leaders don’t want to approve things via email, because then one person has to be the first one disagreeing or accepting. It’s much easier to seek consensus in a room, or on a call. “The committee has decided to…”. “The SLT did not appear in favour of…”. Authority, without the individual responsibility. Laurels, without the risk. It’s a disease that grows like a cancer across many enterprises. SAFe and others are not helping, either, by promoting this type of decision making.
