What a great piece! I love beige as a description of the phenomenon!
Could the problem be compounded because everyone is using the same tools (software and such), being taught the same 'leadership' seminars and the same managerial techniques, and using the same marketing ploys?
In Germany the political system is less blatantly oligarchic than in Britain, yet the outcome is the same and beigeness reigns supreme.
I am, however, old enough to remember politicians who thought nothing of making uncomfortable decisions. Perhaps because the party lists were not automatically vetted for media compatibility?
And the beigeness has seeped into the minds of the very young. In consequence they are anxiety ridden, because the power of beige quells any hope or enthusiasm they might have started out with.

Great plan, but you'll have to stay undercover for the whole time it takes you to get richt. Like a spy in the Cold War, you can never loose sight of your dual goal or the beigeness will get to you, the endless powerpoint presentations, the quasi scientific economic shibboleths.
Good luck with coming through all that unscathed.
