This one was done in the heat of the moment, in the week we finally implemented one of these. "Wickedly seditious" said a colleague.

1. Policy Police
Special issue:
Cutting a dash
Project completion.
Dontcha just hate it?
I’ve gotta deliver the
enhanced Dashboard to the
Implementation Director.
So he holds all the
cards. And he knows it.
Gives you that deep-down
sick feeling. You know
what I mean?

2. There‟s no
way outta this
is there? C„mon. You‟re
supposed to be
a grown-up.

3. Would you
rather I did it
on my own?
No. There‟s no
need for that.
I thought not.

4. Before we go,
put these on.
Why?
One. It hides
the black eye.
Two. It stops them
seeing the fear in
your eyes.

5. What if they
can smell the
fear?
Speak for
yourself.

6. Good to see you.
Is this it? Let‟s
have a look.
You know Geoff,
don‟t you? Geoff
from the CDM?
I met him last night and
he asked, “Any jobs
going at the Agency?”
“There‟s plenty going,”
I said, “but there‟s
none staying!”
Let‟s check the
Oh, ho, thing out. It let‟s
ho. me know the RAG
status of all my
projects, right?

7. … and their
impact on the
outside world.
…”none staying.”
Oh, ho, ho.

8. And you won‟t
have to read the
annual Research
Review any more.
… I never did.

9. We know.

10. We‟ve enhanced
the interface to
give it a more
real-world feel.

11. It‟s Dave! He‟s gone
red in the face and
he‟s scowling at me!
It‟s cuz his
projects are not
meeting their
targets.

12. …and Mike looks
kinda green.
Mike always
looks kinda
green.
Come to think of
it, that‟s true.

13. It‟s just like
real life!
It is real
life.

14. You know, it‟s a But it‟s structured
shame we didn‟t according to the
have this before strategy.
we wrote the
strategy.
That‟s what I mean.
It would have saved
a heck of a lot of
time.
Pity…

15. And we‟ve
added these…
There‟s
more?

16. The levers of
Power…

17. …and the Wow….
joystick of
Strategy.

18. What about
sound?
Just pull the levers
and say “Vroom!”
Right!

19. Now you can
catch the bad
guys.
There are
bad guys?
You know who
they are.
Yes.
I do.

20. And how many years
of my life have I
spent on this?
Gotta keep
looking on the
bright side.
Vroom!
Vroooom!
Keeps them off …hangin‟ out in
the streets, I bus shelters
suppose…
…niffing
glue …having
visions.
