The Big Job 

Comments:0   Add your comment
A few weeks ago I noticed an ad in the Sunday Times for a new Information Commissioner. All those rules about standards in public life mean that jobs like these must be advertised for a fair selection process to take place - no room for a tap on the shoulder in the golf club anymore.This has led me to wonder about the balance of skills required for this job. My list got as far as: ·         Independence of affiliation to any lobbying area·         Exposure to public policy making processes·         Leadership (of course)·         Advocacy and communication My list interestingly doesn't actually mention data, either from a marketing, security or public perspective. What have I forgotten?  I suspect that the future holder of this role will have to spend less time arguing about Identity Cards. A cash strapped future for public finances now appears to be the theme for 2009 and 2010 and would seem to suggest that Identity Cards might find them selves kicked into the long grass of public sector projects.
