How would your hypothetical defence mechanism tell which C-suite initiatives are worthwhile, and which are ego driven make-work?

That's the thing. The two are indistinguishable, unless you give people with strong technical skills veto power on projects. If you don't work in such an environment, the only reason you haven't ran into a dangerous, idiot manager, is luck.

For some reason, in most firms, the c-suite isn't super keen on delegating that power.

So are they indistinguishable or not? Two things can't be a bit indistinguishable.
