Merely as a general observation, I think Prof Onora O'Neill's insights in
the 2002 Reith Lectures (well worth a read - should be compulsory, as should Sir Ernest Gower's
Plain Words) may be pertinent.
When an organisation becomes morbidly obsessed with transparency, accountability, and blame avoidance, the organisation's core activities suffer (as do the people who joined it to do those core activities).
I was inspired by a tale of a Customs officer whose personal policy was to place every memo from above into a "maturing" pile. If, after three months, he'd not had a follow-up demanding to know why he hadn't acted on it, he threw it away.
