Possibly worth considering:
I have always thought it strange that no review or study - be it SDSR or a 'value stream analysis' or even dear Courtney rearranging the desks at group (BZ old chap - I'd buy the DVD if there was one) is ever followed by a ticking off of the previous regime.
We always pat someone on the back for having sorted stuff out, made savings, got the depth maintenance working etc etc without then going after the incompetent half-wits who presided over the broken system that we have now fixed.
In one of my (sadly not isolated) moments of putting senior noses somewhat out of kilter I advised on a programme for making the aircrew briefing process on some well known war canoes vaguely fit for purpose. When we (implemented by ludicrously well paid civilians) had achieved the bleeding obvious (that us young fellows had been arguing for for a couple of tours) I enquired politely whether there would be any repercussions for the officers who had overseen the mess from which we had emerged. The answer, naturally was a resounding 'no' (to summarise) as they had been promoted out of the shambles.
