Can't get anyone in senior management to take your input seriously? Wait until they employ some very expensive consultants, tell the consultant your ideas who will claim them as their own. The consultant will include your suggestions in their report and as they are then coming from someone they are paying exorbitant fees to then your solutions have a good chance to be implemented...

My suggestions for optimization in ACME Company: "Never use external consultants, just ask employees for ideas for improvements: employees already know the company's inner workings and care about how to improve their daily procedures. Also, you already pay them."

Yes, but if you pay a Consultant £500-1,000 a day suddenly everything they say instantly becomes manna from heaven.
