The nice people at the UK Accreditation Service sent their update today.
You can read it by
clicking here. And again I clicked there and read it.
I’ve made no secret that I struggle to see how this stuff is relevant to
improve what I actually do on a daily basis, and whoever wrote the newsletter
didn’t help by starting off with “Learning as an investment in capability
delivers long-term benefits for individuals and organisations by strengthening
professional judgement and helping individuals respond confidently to new or
complex situations”.
What does that actually mean? Why don’t they write these things in
understandable everyday English?
A few less management catch-phrases and a little more comprehensibility all
round would help everyone.
I’m reminded of my days as a manager when if I ever wanted to get my way in
a meeting against a majority decided against me, I would say that my way was
the only way that didn’t have serious governance issues. And because very few
people knew what a “governance issue” was, most people would back down.
And if anyone didn’t, I would scare them off with equally incomprehensible talk
of “MHRA requirements”.
