Many, many, problems and conflicts in the world are caused by people fighting for power.
For example, nations seeking power over other nations, war, politicians seeking power, local councillors fighting, managers playing office politics, unions fighting with managers, and general battles within society. It's everywhere you look - the battle for power. It causes a great deal of harm and unhappiness.
The simple policy to remove all of this conflict, and provide a fair solution is...
Give all of the power to all of the people.
Yep that's right, every individual on the planet gets an equal share of the power.

If a report sounds like waffle and jargon...
... it often means it is just waffle!
A useful report will have clear conclusions (and recommendations). It demonstrates that the author is confident in that subject, and has discovered new knowledge.
Tips:
Check the report's abstract, and if it makes sense then check the conclusions. If the conclusions are interesting and relevant then read the report; else don't bother.
Write reports in plain english.
Be clear about your conclusions and recommendations.
- Do you read reports that splash long, complex sounding, words everywhere?
- Do they seem to make no sense?
- Do they sound like waffle?

Innovation Myopia
Remember most people have innovation myopia:
they can't see what the future holds, even if it's like standing on the train tracks seeing a train hurtling towards them; they can't see the future impact!

Great de-motivation
It's always great to read a "team" report about achievments and work in progress
... especially when it doesn't mention any of the hard work I've done month in month out!
Great, not.
Further, despite being an e-learning focused dept., allegedly, most of the activities reported were not e-learning! Oh hum - welcome to our crazy world.
