The others are correct; there's almost certainly no way of automating this, but WHATEVER you do, do nothing until you've got a good solid template to start with. Otherwise you'll just have similar problems, though perhaps not quite as severe, when the next rebrand comes along down the road.

There are people who do this professionally; two of the best have written the bible for creating good templates:

You'll want to get a copy. Then maybe hire the authors. ;-)

Taylor's a good guy and a funny, mile-a-minute talker. The man can pack more useful info into a couple minutes than anyone I've ever heard.

If you want THE reference on building templates, though, check out Building PowerPoint Templates (Swinford & Terberg). https://www.amazon.com/Building-PowerPoint-Templates-Echo-Swinford/dp/B09GJSBCQH/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1QGHBF52Z7C7G&dchild=1&keywords=terberg+swinford&qid=1635382880&s=books&sprefix=terberg+swinford%2Cstripbooks%2C71&sr=1-1

Tell management they need to buy everyone this book and then make N many chapters due each week. Give them grade school level busy work so to say. People will complain and things will fade into the distance.

The only one I used was Buzz Murphy's book (https://www.amazon.com/Systems-Security-Certified-Practitioner-Official/dp/1119059658) and a lot of CISSP stuff. I sat through a couple online classes in the official course, too, but didn't find those particularly helpful.

Here is The Pamphlet on Amazon.
