Steven, the BBC could undoubtedly learn something about processes for managing companies they outsourced to by reading some of the financial services regulations on his matter - as the first managing director I worked for in the software industry said back in the 1970s: it's delegation not abdication of responsibility. At least one previous BBC Panorama journalist (sorry I didn't have the name as I was busy with something else at the same time) suggested that current affairs programmes should be outsourced as it appears the strict rules he had to apply - which would have avoided this - were being circumvent - perhaps a failure of cost cutting. The discussion was started by Jonathan as Johnson himself entered the public debate on this matter so hence opened himself up to criticism on the matter. Anyway, perhaps we shouldn't forget the great things the BBC brings us: music at the Proms, knowledge from Melvyn Bragg's In Our Time, science in programmes such as the Sky At Night, business discussions in the Bottom Line, ... and from my younger day more music from The Old Grey Whistle Test and John Peel's Top Gear shows. |
