For that I always remember the fable, where animals have bought all those expensive shiny musical instruments, but nobody knows how to play.

They are trying to emulate an orchestra, by rearranging the seats, in the hope that the right seating will make make them sound good. But the orchestra cannot play for the lack of individual skills and lack of the leadership.

I saw in enterprises, they are buying all possible software licenses, but nobody knows how to use them. So the management is constantly shuffling people and churning technologies, in the hope something sticks.

I think most technology professionals refer to the concept of Cargo Cult [1] to describe the same phenomenon as the fable.
