Anecdata: on a couple of projects our metrics have told us that do things differently will not get us to target, forcing hard choices to go do different things to get there. But it is usually an uncomfortable fight to get the boat turned around, especially if people have already invested a lot of money and ego in the earlier decision tree.

Also purely anecdotal, but I think it takes a different skillset to pivot correctly, which execs who work in a corporate environment focused on doing things differently often lack. That’s where external consultants usually get involved.
