    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

      Indeed, going forward, there needs to be a new paradigm. Our client-facing organisation should be lean and mean and results-driven, using our core competencies to produce best-of-breed market-oriented products. At the next meeting I will give you a heads-up on where we are viz-a-viz our goals.
      Hard Brexit now!

          Take Ownership
          Increase Porfolio
          A manager I worked for a number of years back came out with the brilliant:-

          "We'll have to run a loosley packed straw man up the flagpole"

          No, I didn't have a clue what the f**k he was talking about either.

          He left shortly afterwards. "Head-poached" to go and work for ICL I think.

            Makes perfect sense to me. He meant create an issue that everyone thinks is important to deflect attention from the real issue, but also ensure that the fake issue is easily dismantled. Standard technique.

                No - you need a Blue Ocean strategy.
