I wish I could find the video.
Back in 1997, the CEO of Logitech conspired with Scott Adams to prank his executives.
Adams wore a disguise, and was introduced as Ray Mebert, a consultant who was going to help them craft a new mission statement. The purpose of this was to show them that corporate types have been conditioned to accept just about anything that is put in front of them if it has that corporate BS ring to it.
If you've worked for a big company, these guys come around every few years telling you you're doing it all wrong and you need to adopt whatever program they are selling, such as Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, or the Mouse Got My Cheese, etc.
This is the mission statement Adams sold them on:
“The New Ventures Mission is to scout profitable growth opportunities in relationships, both internally and externally, in emerging, mission inclusive markets, and explore new paradigms and then filter and communicate and evangelize the findings.”
And all of them accepted it without question.
Scott Adams doesn't just lampoon consultants in his Dilbert cartoon strip, he can also pose as one and make managers believe him.

As a side note, Scott Adams has advanced prostate cancer, same kind as Biden. He doesn't have much longer on this earth.
