@1usg+1fs,
I would also add that Directors and Managers fail to make crisp decisions in the @$@!#! ($$$) beginning where there should have. They trust opinion or the supposed expert in the room and they trust terribly unverified metrics. I doubt this is a Cisco problem - it is more likely a human problem.
