It used to be Personnel when The Green Man started work, all those years ago. Then we experienced the pandemic that was Economic Rationalism, a phenonemon which was mistakenly thought to be a rational approach to Economics but proved to be an extremely economic approach to Rational thinking.

Personnel gave way to Human Resources and mass retrenchment took place of middle aged middle management professionals who knew how to run businesses to make way for the young go-getters who didn't. Many businesses failed because it takes more than green accountants versed in Kanesian economics to run most companies. Of course the "change consultants" who drove this devestating revolution that saw the economic crash of the late 1980's did not take moral or fiscal responsibility for the devastation that they caused.

They lay low for a while and now they are back with their next wave of new age, new fangle claptrap with which to seduce senior executives who are paid far too much to not fall for this modern snake oil. Their salaries are clearly unjustified because they are flocking to learn of the latest trend "Human Capital Management". Guess what? The employees who actually know what they are doing might actually be valuable to an organisation and who better to tell you this than some highly paid consultants. Yep for a mere $3848.90 you can spend 2 days being told that people with existing corporate knowledge are more valuable to you than new recruits. Well that is perhaps underselling the conference, you also get a cocktail party at the end of the second day but I have been to a few of these sorts of things and you never get cocktails only beer and wine. That sums up the whole experience I suppose, promise cocktails and deliver beer.
