So, I met an IT guy who works for an organization infested with lots of process. Whatever name you want to give to the process I am fine.
He had proposed to use a tool to simplify a great deal of work they had been doing. It had to go through a lot of approvals before he could install it on his desktop. Finally he installed the trial version to demonstrate the proof of concept and that demanded him to be the administrator of his desktop.
As per the IT rule of the organization no local admin access was to be provided to employees unless someone with lots of authority says "go ahead". He went around looking for approvals and some big guns were on leave or put this in low priority.
By the time the approval came and he got the local admin access, the trial license had expired. WTF! I am sure he is not going to be taking any more initiatives to save cost for the organization. There are going to be more people in the organization with similar experience. What a loss for the organization!
