How do we move forward? I hate to say this, but eventually you just have to let management fail. As a work group, it's in our nature to identify threats and try to prevent high-risk consequences. However, there comes a point at which you've given management the tools they've asked for, but they're not solving the problem, and the tools they asked for were the wrong thing for the job in the first place. What can a pilot do about it? Honestly, the answer is "nothing." If they learn fast enough for the company to survive, that's great. If they don't, there's nothing you could have done to fix it anyway.
