VP of "You Can't Be Serious"

Someone once suggested that every organization needs a Vice President in charge of "You Can't Be Serious" once they get to a certain size.

The VPs prime responsibility would be to prevent inane projects, or worst case, stop projects that never should have started! This includes projects that make no sense, projects that don't have enough resources to complete or adequately be supported through their lifecycle, as well as simply moronic and stupid projects.

We all have myopia to some extent, and having someone up above (organizationally speaking) that stops us from endeavors almost certainly doomed to failure would be a great thing!!

Then again, most wildly successful endeavors looked somewhat insane initially. I'm not suggesting anyone stop all apparent "pie in the sky" type projects, just stupid ones. A low chance of success, if the payoff is big enough, is not necessarily inane!
