You really need to get a life.
You had said there's "No such thing as an Incorporated Engineer", then provided a link to a page that said there was such a thing as an Incorporated Engineer.
You really need to make up your mind.

You could be an Incorporated Engineer.
Your company could have a Corporate Partnership.
But the IET do not have "Corporate Members" and if they did, it wouldn't be for individuals.
If you were a HonFIET, you could rightly be proud of that one.
Oh, and you left out your upcoming SEAT on the tribe of Cupra.

You may, or may not, have worked on more projects than me. I've only been working in project environments for 26 years. But, having worked on lots of projects doesn't mean you understand or have the skills to deliver projects. You're a techie, you do what you're told. I'm a manager, I lead the team to deliver success

Originally posted by Whorty View PostThis is how business works ... you do understand that? You may have a main sponsor on a project, but many, many stakeholders. In order to deliver the project you will need to get most (note most, not all) stakeholders on board. This is not 'by committee', this is just how things work in the real world.
You just sound like a code monkey who does what he's told to do, adding little value to the client. Sounds inside IR35 to me.
I'm a professional offering my services to add value to the client. I will add my commercial experience to drive the project, bring stakeholders together, steer the requirements gathering, ensure the code monkeys deliver to those requirements, manage comms etc etc
This is what Brexit lacks - true leadership bringing conflicting views together to deliver a consensus solution. You will never meet the requirements of all stakeholders, but you will never deliver if you can't get the majority of your key stakeholders to join the party. Brexit is pandering to the extreme few and has never tried to take the majority on the journey.

2 of the Option A promoters can't even agree with themselves on what 'good' looks like, even though they campaigned together and supposedly campaigned for the same set of requirements. This is why we are in the tulip that we are
pro-Brexit Environment Secretary Michael Gove said while the prime minister's deal was a compromise, it should not be rejected "for that reason alone".
He appealed for unity among MPs and the country, and rejected the notion of a no-deal Brexit: "We didn't vote to leave without a deal. That wasn't the message of the campaign I helped lead."
But former cabinet minister Boris Johnson, who campaigned alongside Mr Gove to leave the EU, said there was "no way" he would vote for the backstop in its current form.
"The UK will have less sovereign power to withdraw from the backstop than it has to leave the EU itself. It is quite a bewildering state of affairs."
Gove confirms that the Leave campaign never pushed a No Deal solution. Boris doesn't want No Deal either (if you believe his previous comments) yet doesn't want the same as Gove.
And the turkeys voted for these people

The analogy just doesn't work.
