In the context of big corporations, where I had experience working at, I often recall Aesop's animal tales.
The animals have bought all the expensive shiny musical instruments, in order to build an orchestra. But nobody knows how to play (and how to play together). So the only thing they can adjust is the seat order arrangement, stings to the left, brass to the right.
One of the companies I worked for had licensed all possible expensive applications, databases, analytical tools. But nobody knew how to make use of those. There were many initiatives, but all efforts were spread thin.
Perhaps in German this would be called Gießkannenprinzip (the water sprinkler principle)
