If it's not working, you don't have to trouble your brain; Best Practices are interoperable so you can always find a coach/consultant/course that will help you Practice them More Better. Of course, just like metrics, the usefulness of a practice is inversely proportional to its universality.

None of this is new, of course. David Noble called it out in 1995: the first priority of managers is job security, not productivity.

Managers will in the end do what is necessary for them to remain managers, whatever the technical, economic, or social costs.

Sociologists DiMaggio & Powell called the process you're talking about "institutional isomorphism" and claimed that orgs copy each other because when they need to decide something and don't know how, they look to another org and assume (probably wrongly) they had a good reason for doing it that way.

Peter Drucker, on managers (1955): "It always requires twice as much effort and skill to stay up as it did to climb up." The managers put their considerable efforts into staying in place.
