They appear to be a fad in the public service.<br />I once worked for government and these boards became an epidemic.<br />I checked the performance indicators used by the board for our area and one in particular didn't make sense. Eventually I concluded that the other indicators worked against this, impossible surely? So I tracked down the board member responsible for delivering this target and they told me that they got criticised every meeting for not achieving it.<br />Then I had a go at the chairman. At first he was in denial but when I explained what the target really meant he suddenly saw the light. "You are the first person in seven years to have brought this up". So meeting after meeting they drew their salaries, tut-tutted at the figures and thought no more about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
