Mr Davies has asked me to write some suitably dignified text for the Annual Report, outlining the highlights of my Presidential year so far. I sit for several hours trying to think of some. Highlights, I mean. I cannot very well write about the fallings-out and the tellings-off and the several times I have nearly handed back the swimming gala medal with instructions as to where to insert it. I cannot write about Mr Davies putting his head in a kettle. Nor can I very well write about the things I’ve forgotten to do, or remembered to do but not found time for, or remembered to do and had time for but simply been incompetent at. Or about the things I did but hadn’t got permission for. That would not look good at all. I will just have to make something up, I guess. Again. 1 February 2016 At last I have come up with some almost-dignified text. It is about CIPA being more strategic and proactive and increasing stakeholder engagement and generally being much better at management bollocks than it used to be. I am careful not to take sole credit for this: all I have done is to go to the meetings people tell me to go to, and say the things they tell me to say (except where I forget, in which case I may make up a teeny-weeny few things), and engage with whichever stakeholders are on Mr Lampert’s Stakeholder Map plus a few extras like Mr Roberts who fancy a drink or two. If we ended up strategic after all this, it was probably by accident.
