Ever get the sense that the meeting you are in is more about appearances than actions? Find that people keep on raising decision items that were already settled? Notice irrelevant issues dominate the agenda? Quite possibly an aspiring CIA operative is sabotaging your meeting.

I have long been at odds with much of the prevailing organisational culture when it comes to written documents. Call me out of touch with GenMe, but I like critical thinking. I enjoy a well written document. I think that actual research is necessary for a well-formed argument. I think major decisions should have a solid brief.
