This isn't always possible. I know cases from personal experience where
'management' (who in many cases are defined as being clueless - see Dilbert)
will say things like 'I went to lunch with the Oracle Business Development
guy and we are going to migrate over in the next 3 months.'

Staff on the front line need amunition to support sane alternative
strategies, like not changing something if it works, but externally sourced
analysis always reads better to most management.
