The corporate methodology makes no sense

I am not sure what to call it, but there has to be a way for the corporation to function, even when it comes to meetings.

There's usually an agenda with multiple points, people wanting to bring up topics to then discuss and so on. A corporation this size needs some kind of 'checklist' like this.

The way 'new things' are introduced to the boss makes NO sense whatsoever! It's so luck- and timing-based, haphazard and clumsy, not to mention EXTREMELY inefficient! Someone introduces something, and IF that fails, then someone else can jump in at the exact right moment and opportunity, and THEN the boss will want to check their project.

WHAT?

Wouldn't the 'Robocop program' have been ON THE AGENDA/LIST everyone gets in the beginning of the meeting? Did this guy works very hard withing the corporation and not tell the boss what he's working on? Why did he get such free reign?

These things should NOT be a surprise to the boss, why wouldn't the boss know what his people work on? This is not third-grade show and tell, you know.

Now the big question; HOW would anyone in that corporation get FUNDING for a project so secret even the boss doesn't know about? Who paid for the Robocop-project?

Wouldn't those that paid inform the boss about the project? Would the boss approve funding for a project he knows NOTHING about? Why would he need a presentation except for DETAILS and STATUS of the project? Why would he assume 20 minutes is enough to prepare for thorough enough a presentation?

If such simple, probably 'intimate' presentation (without all the members of the meeting present) is enough, why even have the meeting and have presentations there?

In any case, NONE of how this corporation is shown to work makes any sense.. none of it.
