Bell Cheeses at work

I found out a couple of weeks ago that the team I'm going into has the man who holds the Olympic Gold and World Record in utter bell cheesery. We all know him, the part time journo, full time window licker.

Wish me luck.......

I was sent the following email a few days ago, after I'd told somebody that the new process that they'd designed for overseas recruitment was illegal:

"Biomimicry

An Organisation Learns A Lesson From An Organism

[Here was a picture of an amoeba, which I unfortunately can't replicate]

The Organism

A cell functions as a unit, each part interacting on behalf of the whole entity, no part acts independently without adverse consequences, therefore mechanisms exist that constantly relay the status and actions of each component to the rest of the organisms which in turn stimulates a response from selective components within the cell thus optimising the organisms viability and efficiency.

The Organisation

When an individual or team create and implement a solution or idea that will significantly affect other individuals or departments then implements that solution or idea without providing the opportunity for those individuals that will be affected, to appraise and feedback before the implementation, the outcome will usually have a greater probability of being less effective. Any strategy can be validated or optimised, and the logical time to ‘stress test’ an idea is before its full implementation, therefore reasonable consultation before significant change IS simply good practice; regardless of the status or I.Q. of the individual or lead team.

I love working in xxxxx and I’m passionate about our organisation, therefore I’m disappointed and frustrated when we fail to harness the incredible resources that lay within every employee across our entire workforce, and good communication is key if we are to maximise the potential of this wonderful institution.

A multitude of way already exist that connect our neural network; StaffNet, DSE Communications, eUpdate, Beeline, Intranets, social media, email distribution lists, email, and my personal favourite. . . physically meeting and talking with people.

So, from today, I am calling upon ever member of staff within our organisation, especially those with any managerial responsibility in any capacity to do two things;

1) Fully embrace the organisational lesson we can learn from single celled organisms and always carry out a 360 degree communication and consultation, especially with those who will be directly affected, before implementing any idea that significantly impacts those individuals or departments. The xxxxxxxxxxxxxx is ONE team, and we are at our best when we function that way. Consultation can be done very quickly and concluded within a few hours/days or weeks, just filter out the ‘white noise’ that may be generated, then isolate the strongest harmonics and… hey presto, you’ve just validated your proposed action plan or you now have additional resources to optimise or construct a better idea BEFORE it becomes operational, this is a win/win process, and I suspect that only those afflicted with hubris or a ‘silo mentality’ would object to this concept.

2) Provide me with feedback!!!! ;-)

I have written this email to you because of the way I feel about the process that lead up to the implementation of our current xxxxxxx validation procedures (see email trail below). My complaint is not with the solution (although I don’t like the present solution at all), but with the lack of opportunity I had feedback before the implementation. And my greater concern is that I suspect other parts of our wonderful organisation that I care passionately may well be suffering the same malady, and that is a disappointing and frustrating thought."

Never expected to see someone on NSC triggered. Perhaps we can set up a safe space forum for those with a flimsy disposition.

The poster who made the comment has apologised. Prob best to leave it now and refrain from turning NCS's premier thread into nastiness?
Just reaching out and touching base, no need to unpack it.
