Sure, but not always in a good way

Where I work it seems that for the execs the PPT is the product

They get credit for the PPT/presentation and zero demerits for not actually following through and delivering

For dev groups reporting up, you get more credit for a good PPT putting a spin on a shitty project than for a project well done.
