NEW WORLD ORDER..

 
I read a quote recently that went something like this..

"We must be impatient with those in
the public service who see themselves as
pen-pushers and guardians of rubber
stamps, thieves intent on self-enrichment,
bureaucrats who think they have
a right to ignore the vision of Batho
Pele, who come to work as late as possible,
work as little as possible and knock
off as early as possible."

I am involved in an interesting world at the moment. 
One in which the old world order of UK politics is rapidly changing - led
by an onslaught of budget cuts.  No or less money  means people have
to change how they work - to get the same results with less financial input.

This is great.  For me.  Given that part of what I do is advise government
departments etc about how to do things a little differently.  Now with added 'less money'!

Rapid and constant re-assessment of work is what is needed.  Personally and
among the organisations I work with.  A lot can be taken from management
and business theory

Insight. Improve. Innovate.

Interesting. Useful.  Most of all it also reminds me of a long time ago
in my past when somebody once told me I could get by in the world
with two of the three i's.

This was a different world.  And the i's were different.  I got away with
it from around 1990 to 2010.  Twenty years trading on two out of
the following three; Industry. Initiative. Intelligence.

Those that know me, know which one i I mostly avoided!

And so to now.

Got to get on.  Industry seems to be required.  Oh dear!
