[...] I did actually think that the easy option was to remove the Minister but that is always just a cop out in order to keep the CS intact and make the whole process pain free.

Perhaps a few other top dog CS managers will sit up and take notice?

 

But Chris Corlett isn't a 'proper' civil servant who joined at 18 with mediocre exam results and than sat around cultivating the right contacts. If you look at his LinkedIn page:

He'd worked entirely as a management consultant before he was parachuted in to become a CEO and so had no managerial experience at all[1]. Presumably though he was fluent in Business Bullshit, which seems to be main qualification nowadays[2], but he certainly wasn't one of the boys and there must have been a lot of resentment at him taking over like that.

 

Still, as you will have noticed, the other two Departments he ran werre in such a state afterwards that they had to be broken up or taken over by another Department. So maybe DT will get his wish that the DED will soon be no more.

 

 

[1] You don't become a 'Senior Manager' at a big consulting company like Anderson Consulting (as it was actually called then) straight from university.

 

[2] Being a kind person I have removed it from the CV.

Thousands of projects fail because they run out of momentum and are never pursued to their optimum conclusion. How do we avoid such a failure in this case? Remove Skelly too.

Are you suggesting further investment in the space industry? Captain Kwirk would be the natural choice for Chief Exec.
His dad should have shot him into space 50 plus years ago.

 

He aimed for the stars,but it landed on his shoes.
