Welcome transformation boss

We are happy that the Government has, at last, appointed someone to oversee what it is now being called the transformation and modernisation of the public sector.

The process is way behind schedule, so Veniece Pottinger-Scott has no time to waste in helping to shape the public sector into one that is lean, efficient and entrepreneurial.

She, of course, may have to turn a deaf ear to those who may claim that transformation is not a priority and that they are too busy attempting to keep their departments afloat to pay heed. It may just be that those departments are not worth keeping afloat.
