Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

Originally posted by zara_backdog View PostI would like to do one but the cost and time has put me off.
However, Working with a chap who is going to be the administrator of a compliance system to control documents, Corrective action planning, Change Control, Incident and Near Miss reporting for Health and Safety amongst other things. This guy has been a Cobol developer for a s/w house for 14ys working on SOP s/w and took 2 yrs out to do a Business MBA in the mid 90's.
He was made redundant before Xmas and this was the first job he went for.
However he has never heard of:
- Document Management Systems or the process for authorising documents in a formal environment.
- Change control procedures
- Prince or any other project management methodologies
- Itil
- Six Sigma or Lean
- Corrective Action and Preventative Action Planning
- Did not know why I was identifying documents as Polices, Procedures, forms etc (surely they are all the same he questioned?)
- Did not know what ISO9001 was for
Ok, you may not need to know all this stuff but I thought it would be covered a Business MBA?
All I can say if he passed – then I should be able to do so to.
I must say, I agree with you there !!Comment
