This happened almost verbatim at one company I worked at, except there were two extra steps.
Panel five had management create an advisory team to investigate why engineers weren't taking risks. They did, and reported back to management that engineers were told that the highest priority was making their deadline, and since taking risks meant potential failure, they didn't take risks.
Panel six had management then tell the advisory team, and scold the engineers that of course they had to make the delivery dates, but they were still expected to take risks, "but only ones that will be successful".
