Scott Adams, the author of "Dilbert" pretended to be a consultant a few years back to prove a point.
He was brought in to help a company come up with their new mission statement. His goal? To make it as complicated and meaningless as possible to demonstrate how many lemmings there are in management positions. The final result was incredibly complicated and meaningless. Lots of the latest buzzwords. And it got complete "buy-in" from the lemmings that helped create it. They sat around the table feeling like they accomplished something great until Mr. Adams revealed himself, and asked them to explain the new mission statement.
