This globally popular educational and research website (stolen from www.12-12-12.org) lists every national and international problem in the world in a rather unusual and entertaining way, so remember to bookmark www.harryrings.org in your favourites folder! For the record: Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings has decided to take over the World because it is in a mess. He has decreed that by December 12^th 2012 there will be global peace and no more poverty. Stop doing what you were going to do today and read on.................

Harry Potbelly Lord of the Onion Rings as Director of the Human Race and Manager Planet Earth commands and Andronicos "The Cynic" responds as follows.........

My directions to senior civil servants and their tribal leaders are as follows -

I want the concept of rotating floaters adopted for the most senior executives. Never should someone stay in the same position for years and years. Get fresh blood, fresh ideas and a new regime in place regularly without having to wait for the High Priest to die.

These floaters, typically who fill the (equal) number 2 level, are to move around and swap jobs for 6 months at a time once every four years, with their equivalents within other departmental tribes. On top of this, every now and again I want consultative sabbaticals abroad. For goodness sake, go and get ideas from abroad. Go back to basics. Get simple processes working before spending gazillions in automating them, otherwise you automate chaos. The key can be found by looking at how the poorest tribes undertake almost the same results with 20% of the virtual cost.

And speaking from personal experience, never condescendingly turn your noses up to constructive public criticism or suggestions. Furthermore, I expect job positions to be renamed from "permanent head of….." to "non temporary head of….".

Finally, I may ask some of you to justify your benefits packages, future fat pensions and existence in general. You will do so quickly, efficiently and with the least amount of fuss. I will not debate the issue. Never forget, you are a servant of the people and not the slave master of your underpaid, unappreciated staff. Prove to me that you are fit and proper senior civil servants. Do as you are told or Get Off My Planet

I think the job title “Rotating Floater” may not go down too well with senior Civil Service executives.

Ponder............
It will take an average person 12 hours to read and understand the contents of this website and listen to 'The Speech'. Is one hour a day for 12 days too long? Why don't you email the www.12-12-12.org link to 12 of your friends and discuss their opinions in 12 days time? Maybe the 7th person in your email chain can break the secret code and the 12th person, may hold the key to World Peace. Are you or someone in your family the 7th or 12th person?
