Blair urges civil service reform
"He said a civil service which could "adapt, deliver and innovate is
a hugely valuable asset". It "needs to encourage and reward lateral
thinking" he added.
"It needs to reward civil servants who look
outwards for learning rather than up the hierarchy for approval," the
prime minister said."
From
what I've seen in the civil service, he's very, very, very right.. I
heard the BBC 24 hour news say the word, "entrepreneurial." If only!
Nothing I've seen in the civil service is entrepreneurial. When I heard
that, I thought of universities, some of which have departments that
look into making money out of some of their research. If the UK civil
service could start thinking in that way too, they and we'd (us
subjects — we're not citizens here in the UK) be so much better off.
