Not really. Top managers have a bean counter mentality. They expect to 
see people working in the places that they are used to see them working.

The one time I was in a quasi-start-up project, the line manager screwed 
it up because he decided that design reviews were a waste of time, and 
skipped them.

Lot of errors that would have been caught at a design review got 
through, and had to be found - slowly and expensively - by 
trouble-shooting boards that had been built with built-in errors.

The clown that made the choice hadn't had the painful experience on 
getting complicated boards to work that would have given him some 
insight into why design reviews were worth doing, even if they cost time 
up front, because skipping them cost a lot more time down-stream.
