🔗 Just in Case You Thought Life was Fair
💬 I sometimes use a personal guide to ‘people’ based on MSOffice (a clue to how seriously I take this). Everyone is part Powerpoint, part Excel and part Word.
- PPT is the ‘creative’
- XLS is the ‘logician’
- DOC blends the two
Percentages will vary. Came to mind when I saw this recent Gaping Void.
💬 Gaping Void Commentary
🔗 Pockets of Belfast - Gapingvoid
On 20th March, in celebration of the UN’s World Happiness day, the BBC’s Mark Easton conducted a little social experiment: dropping ten wallets (with money and his phone number inside) on the streets of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
He got them all back.
Makes me happy - and today isn’t even World Happiness Day!
🔗 Were Your Managers Managing Your Decline?
This is “managed decline,” – the art of overseeing failure with exceptional documentation. Managed decline hides under terms like cost control, risk minimization, and streamlining, but it guarantees one thing: job security for managers. The EU and UK exemplify this, where managed economic entropy and decline have become a boon for the managerial class. Managers multiply like Gremlins in water.
The Intersection of Politics, Business, Culture and YOU.
🔗 From DEI to dei - Gapingvoid
Real change requires a change in mindsets and deep seated beliefs. And you only change that through culture.
🔗 The Curse of Easy Money - Gapingvoid
Soon you have a two-speed society: those riding the wave, and everyone else paying inflated prices with deflated opportunities.

You Know He’s Right.
As is so often the case.
If It’s Not About The People …
Careful what you measure … Gaping Void nailing it.
Reminds me of the Blair mandate about waiting for doctor appointments.
