When The Educated Fail To Write


Films need scripts to stay on course. Plays need scripts so actors know their roles, characters and dialogue. When the script lacks clarity confusion ensues.

Managers depend on the scripting of operational guidelines. The sturdiest organisations have bulky operational guides for everything. One single service operation, in competent banking institutions, has various manuals many pages long to specify: product delivery, service roles and working standards.

Our organisations are depleted as they lack comprehensive practical operational guides. Walking into ZIM corporate and government offices one is aware of the total lack of accountability. Things were different 34 years ago when all organisations had comprehensive written, and applied, practical policy guides. The biggest victim of lacking practical policy guide is the economy. As the policy manuals disappeared, so did Zimbabwe’s economic efficiency.
