Going forward at the end of the day, the fact of the matter is that this organisation will become a centre of excellence and justice in provision of value-added strategic planning services that leverage the core values of this post-9/11 society and tackle the concerns of the community on an ongoing, daily basis. We try to touch base with all those involved in providing demonstrably contiguous services to make sure they are singing from the same hymn sheet, while still retaining the capacity to think outside the box, cherry picking the low-hanging fruit for extensive consultation. Aligning networked innovation with facilitation of community aims, we will go the extra mile to meet our end goal in adding value to our front line game plan of realising potential through diversity and inaugurating a foundation of mutual respect, after we hit the ground running with a streamlined, prioritised operational initiative with a mandate from our family of stakeholders and partner agencies playing their part in the provision-of-value chain. Towards these strategic goals, a Service Modernisation Team has been instituted with the intention of interlocking policy with a culture of innovative infrastructural regeneration featuring hypothetical accounting, blue-sky thinking and a force of active agents in creating a culture of rapid change, refining the image and public conception of the services we offer, reinvigorating them for the twenty-first century and creating a best practice blueprint to connect other service providers with excellence and prevention of social exclusion in service delivery to the future.

Commentary: This was inspired by years of reading this kind of dispiriting rubbish coming from people in every part of public life. I have densely packed it in, but the sources of such nonsense are endless. Some examples I used directly in writing include Better Public Libraries (a report by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council) and the Strategy for Policing Thames Valley 2008-2011, incorporating the Delivery Plan 2008-2009 (by the Thames Valley Police service - with an HTML summary). Libraries and the police - two important public institutions - which have extremely simple to understand purposes - "we lend books" and "we nick criminals". Really, how complicated do you have to make it?
