Very true. I have this book in my head that might one day get written. Title would be something like "Intreprenauring: Innovating within Large Stupid Organizations" with a focus on practical "hacks" for getting stuff done. Probably all been said by Dilbert already though.

Please kickstarter that book right away. Dilbert identifies problems but does not provide solutions, only an outlet for the rage.
That's a great idea. Now you've got me thinking... Initial hurdle is I'm in Europe, based in Switzerland and kickstarter T&C require US citizenship. Looking for solutions right now (anyone with advice appreciated)
Why not do it the normal way of submitting a proposal to suitable publishers?
There's always the tried-and-true option of writing it in your spare time, and then finding a publisher or self-publishing with Amazon or the like.
I'm happy to offer publishing advice. Contact information is on my profile page.
Hey, I'm from Switzerland too, are you working on anything interesting atm?

Please write that book

Anyone trying to learn to work in LSOs, should read the Political Savvy book first: http://www.politicalsavvy.com/docs/book.html (ignore all the colour scheme and additional monetization junk, just borrow/buy the book itself)
Really looking forward to this...
