sounding off: the briefly noted archives

For a number of years, I wrote a column in IPAC's Public Management Magazine. It's purpose was to bring forward ideas that were current and relevant to IPAC members, academics and practitioners alike. The format was a simple briefing note and a link if someone wanted to follow up. As usual, my tongue was in my cheek a lot, especially when dealing with the management guru or totally new idea of the month. I am going to keep this up on the Home Page of this site and plan to move older columns here for archiving.
