Many modern business leaders will wax lyrical about the value of agility.
They want to have an organisation that is quickly adaptable to the modern world in what they call the VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous).
In such a world, the ability to pivot, move, bring new products to market, or be innovative is sometimes the difference between life and death, or at least success and not.
And so, you look at society, and you look at the businesses and the organisations with the money and the brains and the intellect to be adaptable, and then you look at the way the country is run by whichever politician and the organisations and departments that we have and the IT structure in the NHS and all of these things, and you wonder where we're headed.
The best example of this in modern times is vaping.
It seems that vaping has become ubiquitous and difficult to handle.
The first time I ever came across it was a delegate coming to a course in the academy; it was when we were in the bungalow in the Conservatory, and they just sat at the back and started vaping.
When I questioned that, they said oh, it was no problem, it was no danger to anyone else, but of course, we didn't really have any idea what they were doing, so we stopped it.
And then the children had it, and nobody did anything about it.
