Found a process used by information workers that seems applicable to explain how propaganda is assembled…and in case you want to be a Scrum Master there a course. (Scum Master is more to the point.

The TAYLORd business plan; with Chinese characteristics.
The ‘R’ was added for aesthetic purposes.
“Scrum”… the word alone was worth a good laugh! Just imagine all the high-paid Silicon Valley and other corporate types who spend their lives working in hellholes that make them go through stuff like that, including all the corporate-speak and constant kindergarten-like meetings. I had a small taste of it at one point. I think this corporatization partly explains why American culture is such a dumpster fire, mental health has fallen off a cliff, and so many Americans are out of touch with reality.

Agree. I was subjected to “the process” during my corporate working life but couldn’t name it. I just thought it was “for the birds” and flew the coup after fourteen years of “scrumming”.

Glad I’ve retired out of all that guff. But it was a thing along with Kaizen, 6 sigma, Total Quality Management etc etc etc…

The Consultation industry cleaned up on all that horse pucky…guess corporate America felt a need to share the bounty with their ex-employees who came back as consultants. May of been a perk in their Reduction In Force packages, undisclosed of course. 
. No other way to explain the fads. Surely upper management was going to admit they did not know how to run the corporations while justifying their huge salaries and bonuses.

Only in deliberate Christian mode could one sit across from consultants, to bless their wee souls as they struggled and wriggled to create ways of repeating back to you, your problem(s) statement, root cause analyses, SWOT and options for solution and recommendations. However, I will grant that the repetition was delivered in very professional PowerPoints and branded documentation, much better than the documentation formats to which might ordinarily have access.
Yes the presentations were usually quite slick.
