How long is going to take these corporate morons to realize they're being duped? Like, you could have tested this with a focus group and realized it wasn't going to work in 5 minutes and saved yourself the trouble...

I think it's all performative bullshit, not good policy.

Some decision maker has to appear innovative to his superiours, so he decides to have some number of locations assigned to a trial group and some bullshit installed. Even if it fails, just as long as he finds the right moment to start appearing critical of the experiment he can still pull off his play. After all moving fast and failing fast are also virtue in modern corporate bullshit lingo.

This. I'm watching it in real time. I want to grab these fuckers by the shirt and shake them until they get it.

Instead, they'll get promoted and leave the mess to be cleaned up by someone else.
