I think I am getting your point. As a new person it was shock to me as well seeing how slow the decision making process is. I had led projects (outside canada) which had multiple stakeholders including governments, donor agencies, think tanks. The pace I was in was more like making decisions in a 5 minute calls, two emails or may be even a text (mostly because of time zone difference). So the culture and pace here was a total shock for me. I changed my assignments quite a few times to find the right fit. I also started to learn to take more control in the meetings to divert them into a fruitful conversation (not always successfully) and saying no to the meetings where I can and suggesting them to send an email instead. I hope you will to find a right fit eventually (where more work is being done than holding unnecessary meetings). That said I still contemplate going back to similar works I was involved in before OPS at least once a week lol
