Powerpoint culture

A work culture that encourages dumb presentations and meetings about strategy based on gut feelings and hand gestures. The strategy is never really executed after the presentation. Also the exhibitors usually support setting goals as a way of life and endless boring conversations about the structure of their team.
The presentations almost always use Microsoft's Powerpoint software.

The culture worships graphic design and helps incompetent people to keep their jobs even though if they were to die tomorrow, the company’s profits would not be harmed and even improved.

If the presentations are on stage it can also be called "TED culture".
