A lot the comments here are missing the point.

This is NOT a technical problem to be solved with a technical solution. It is a management/organizational issue and should be solved at that level.

Its not possible at all organizations, but an individual contributor can solve these sorts of problems provided they've spent the time building rapport with the offending department. If you have a history of making other people look good they will want to work with you on issues.

But it won’t.

This. Everyone gets that it -should- be dealt with by management. Everyone (else) also gets that it won't be, because that's the reality of many large companies.
