The process whereby an individual with not the first clue about the matter at hand is charged with the sacred quest of venturing deep down into the weeds in which another team of specialists is obliged to operate with the object of discovering just what it is they do down in there, and then simplifying it, summarising it and reporting it back up the chain to those individuals who commissioned her in the first place — being individuals with, necessarily, even less of a clue about it than the deep-diver — in a format in which they can understand — namely a single animated slide on a deck, ideally with some nice colourful RAG statuses and a dashboard of some sort.

The funny thing about a deep dive is that it will typically be conducted by a person from the middle management layer with the least prospect of understanding what she sees when she gets there.

Just make sure you don’t smack your head on the springboard on the way down, y’all.
