Once upon a time...
 
Try not to laugh

I mean, come on!

It worries me that this is the organisation (and I use that term loosely) I work for.

This is the problem with top brass being dominated by 'accelerated intake' graduates who were the 'brightest and best' of their year. Not just in the Police, but any organisation. They may be bright, but do they have any practical experience of the business they are meant to be running?

Bloody government organisations seem to be the worst, but that is only because it is not 'news' in a PLC / private company. It's a British 'management culture' thing.

I like this comment on the story:

'"Detectives were encouraged to share tales of successful investigation"

Well, that will have taken care of a couple of hours, I wonder what they did for the rest of the week, bet it wasn't catching high profile criminals.

Oh eck! I'm a manager and in principle I agree with what they are doing.

Sharing best practice over a pint can make a difference. *note over a pint*

Badging and rebranding are a huge waste of money.

But don't forget, there isn't a newspaper in Britain that won't put some spin on it.

How the hell did that cost £100k? We end up telling amusing anecdotes about random b*ll*cks all the time and all that takes to get started is £50 worth of booze...

Yep agree with you here, my organisation is full of direct entrants who thrive on this kind of thing, but who have no experience at the workface at all.

Our latest top brass, was recruited from a magazine publishing group which has no relavance to my work at all:confused:

I love the police, they're like that slightly retarded cousin who just has no shame at spouting off about stuff they never fully thought through.
