@Chris I suspect English may not be your first language, so I'm not sure if you realise that the phrase "what else do you want?" comes across a bit rude. Unless that is really your intent, you may want to consider a different expression.

" It won't have much impact on the company overall, but I will waste 1 to 2 hours every week with this topic while knowing that it's not providing any benefit, although it will also not cause harm besides wasting my time."

how about asking to have this made someone' else's project?

If it's about organization/reorging/layoffs/compensation changes etc., often the entire reason companies bring in external consultants is to implement such a decision, i.e. it's a fait-accompli, then have token 'listening' sessions to pretend everyone 'bought in' and diffuse blame. Especially when that decision is unpopular or long-term destructive. How do know the management have the long-term best interests at heart, or aren't planning to bail after a management buyout/ strategic sale/ IPO?

Much corporate behavior isn't (long-term) rational, let alone about improving things or optimality. Stand back and ask yourself Cui bono/Which group of people stands to gain most from the change, and which to lose?
