None of the corporate bureaucrat types I encountered was capable of thinking outside the box.
You don’t find much innovation in most large corporations. All decisions are made by committees so that nobody gets fingered when things go wrong. Just like government.
There’s plenty of innovative thinking around - just not in big bureaucracies.

43 is right in a mere 20 years US business as become unable to think outside the box. Endless committee meetings and conference calls with no firm decisions being made. There was a day when taking a chance and trying something new got you big rewards, now it is frowned upon. You are labeled a maverick and have run out of the herd.
despair.com has a poster that says: "Meetings, none of us are as dumb as all of us." Sad but true.
