or have you too had work done by the likes of Mc@@@@@sey and Company Consultants
Nope, Defence has been Mc***seyed as well
. Your description of what happens when they turn up and who they impress is spot on as well
.
MBA brigade ( now increasingly being tumbled) , plus HR "practitioners' ( tumbled years ago ) , plus lap dog Accountants ( 6 months ahead only in vision , with eyes to the City) , plus a "Business Model" fable (good for the GMD in his annual report to blow smoke over the share holders ) seem still to constitute a mutually supporting and non-productive, clique of dominance in some quarters of industry.
I have never understood the need for "mission statements" and "visions" in Defence either. Too many people spend too long worrying about rubbish like this rather than just getting on and delivering the desired end result. No-one really cares; most just want to get on with the job. Now we have another new era with mandates and SROs all as a result of the latest in trend - MSP.
