Nice point 'K'. In my career I've worked closely with some astute CEO's, mostly private sectors. Those same CEO's would have kicked my arse to high heaven had I paid a Consultant to do the very work I am paid to do as an employee and manager within the executive team. But this is the problem - government departments, in general, have endless buckets of money that pretty much can be spent, as desired with no recourse Value for money you say? Pfffft. Not required. Accountability for how the bucket of money is spent you say? Pfffft. Not required.
You need to take these clowns like wannabe CEO Harfwit (who in incidentally believes a CEO role is inherited due to long service, not won due to a person being qualified or skilled), take the Skid'Marks, Beakers and Chairman Hawkes and stick them in the private sector. That will define the men from the boys. These blokes would crumble like a cheap deck of cards. Can you imagine them having to get their hands dirty, having to be accountable for their actions or decisions, rather than having soft pink palms sitting in an office and being promoted and highly remunerated for their skill in doing nothing, producing hot air and mastering the game of smoke and mirrors?
