Your posting is a generic copy of the one I posted a few years back revealing all the ex banking crew arriving with Bayliss. I can't see the rationale unless its just to cement top dog at the top. Anyway would appreciate anyone exposed to big business (not that TAB is such a big business) to put down any reasons that this sort of hiring helps racing or wagering.

Given the dramas I've had with NZ Post lately, and their continued failure to sort out a simple problem, I wouldn't go near them.....

jess 1,244 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 It seems to be how it all works at that level in this tiny country ... Maybe this individual is the bomb! - I don't know. I do know there is a tendency at high levels in many organisations these days to opt for transferrable skills rather than specific subject-experts if you like. But in my humble opinion this needs to be an approach which is balanced with people who do understand and have experience in what (commodity/service/industry) you are dealing. And then if Iwas to play devil's advocate - I might say "never let the notion of a meritocracy get in the way of good old fashioned cronyism ... " I leave it to the `cafers to make their own minds up .... gubellini and Pam Robson 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insider 3,961 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 The postmens job is to deliver! I guess we now have to wait and see if all of the postmen can deliver! The real question is; how long we have to wait or better still, how much time should we give them? Trying to be fair I say 30 July 2019, and if we don’t see a substantial turnaround for the Racing Industry then it’s all over. Some in the industry totally believe in John A, so I will give him/them another 16 months and whoe betide them if they fail.

We're Doomed 4,868 Report post Posted March 14, 2018 I suspect he may be similar to the other John, Falloon, who was minister of racing a long time ago. Sounds good but no substance. But I don't really know the man at all so I may be totally wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicBlackie 128 Report post Posted March 15, 2018 Janine Belcher Bio Janine’s last permanent role was with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, where she led the transformation of the people function over a four year period. During this time, NZTE redesigned its customer engagement and investment models, transformed its culture and achieved the highest engagement within the public sector and significantly grew customer satisfaction. Over the last two years, Janine has focussed on providing consulting services to a range of public and private sector organisations around people strategy, transformation and capability. Prior to this Janine has also held senior leadership roles with Ministry of Social Development and New Zealand Post with a background in people and culture, business improvement and service design.

Don't You Believe It 93 Report post Posted March 16, 2018 GM roles earn over $200k. There will be at least twice that many in direct reports under these roles also from NZ Post. Henry was at NZTE I believe - join the dots. Trough. Gravy. Train. hedley 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
