I can tick all the boxes - my centre of excellence has the disintermediation of under-performing non-mission-critical non-drivers as a core deliverable along its critical path going forward into an enhanced worldclass monetized cycle. Sadly, I think you will have a lot of entrants, but do see this:

Anybody else? Can somebody beat this one (above)?
I was waiting for a post like this.
I can tick all boxes and add the following,
* where an "inner circle" members take over despite having less qualifications than the rest
* where "inner circle" members make serious mistakes while "outer circle" members pay for their mistakes with their careers and healths
* where "inner circle" are given control of "outer circle" members output and can therefore gain credit for their work
* where open competition for a post is done only after staff become aware of the opening!
* where mangagers lie, blackmail, steal, double count, and can rely on their own their OBE recipient managers to cover their tracks.
This institution's name starts with an "I".
imperial college in London has to be the worse by far... one colleague was threatened by his manager with reprimandation for contradicting him... the word disobedience was used to prevent a colleague from speaking out...and so on
