Demographically I suspect most organisations have an active interface between the "clueless" and the "sociopathic" portions of your triangle depicting corporate structure. Due to the surfeit of talentless yet highly ambitious oleaginous benthos,there is a profound force toward the ruination of those with strong instincts and creativity. It is the filthy dog leg paradigm of Darwinism namely Survival of the Mediocre,the entropic accretion of sociophagic morons that crave what they can never have, while stamping it out whenever it is within their influence.

If companies are really going to create conversations with their consumers then they're going to have to shake up this department (with their familiar way of working and their cozy network of journo contacts) and make them realise that they are essential in the new world order. They (alongside many other customer facing people within the company) need to be the acolytes of the company - when and wherever they are needed. A brand, I believe, is a company's soul and is therefore everyone's responsibility in how this manifests itself internally and externally. But the PR department is an easy win... if only they 'got it'.
