On the back of our special not-a-Council-meeting, Mr Davies
has written us a fabulous three-year strategic plan, and Council has
accidentally approved it. Now Mr Lampert
is busy turning it into a swanky fold-out leaflet to impress everyone at
Congress.
Tactful as ever, I tell them the swanky leaflet looks too
macho. I say they must get rid of the
photo of the sharp-suited business man with the hard hat under his arm who
looks like something out of Fifty Shades
of Grey, and replace it with a picture of some girlies eating caramel
custard tarts, which is what CIPA is really about these days.
They put in a picture of some cogs instead.
Later, they add some salmon pink highlights, to humour me. I would have preferred custard yellow.
The strategic plan tells us all the wonderful things we are
going to do for CIPA members. It is full
of modern stuff like “stakeholder map”, “push communication”, “virtual
networking” and “policy playbook”. I
think “policy playbook” sounds a bit naughty, but I like the idea of “mixed
social and learning events”, which presumably means being allowed to chat to
your friends while someone is giving a Powerpoint® presentation in the
background. We could offer some mixed inebriation
and refreshment opportunities alongside.
Yes, I like the sound of that a lot.
