I propose a think tank whose duty is to churn out business
skeletons. This is, a business plan that only needs people to
execute.
A business skeleton is a set of job descriptions, a business
plan and a operational manual.
To get a job you need experience, to get experience you
need
a
job. A catch 22.
I propose the job centres of the country be use to funnel
people into business skeletons. I propose the country has
nothing to lose by funding (with public money) people in
positions they are underqualified for.
Business skeletons are business plans that should work, if
people in each role specified in the skeleton actually carry
out
the work defined by the skeleton.
Given how rampant incompetence is and how poor customer
service is on average, I figure these business skeleton
companies have a high chance of scoring a home run in the
business world.
They would be insulated from failure because they would be
funded by government grants (or billionaires) or venture
capital trusts.

I correctly guessed the author! Do I win a prize? |
|
| |
I award you with a gallon of half eaten custard. |
|
| |
At first, I was scared, but then I remembered I don't
really do anything where I work anyway, so no
business and skeletons are kind of cool. So I'm not
afraid anymore. |
|
| |
Oh yeah, I like the idea too. |
|
| |
// a gallon of half eaten custard. |
|
| |
Wait, did that start as two gallons uneaten? Or a half-gallon eaten? |
|
| |
This is kind of and interesting idea but it still begs all kinds of questions. |
|
| |
1. why doesn't the think tank just set up the business and make meelions and cut out the middle men? |
|
| |
2. //Given how rampant incompetence is// the entire plan seems doomed to failure? |
|
| |
3. //To get a job...// This is the root of the problem, I think. The fewer people who have "jobs" the better. |
|
| |
The think tank isn't trying to make money directly, it's trying
to invest in people and businesses. |

RAISES! NO QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN BEGGED!!!! BEGGING A QUESTION IS A PHRASE THAT HAS A VERY SPECIFIC MEANING!! BY OVERLOADING THE DEFINITION YOU ARE HARMING THE SPIRIT OF DEBATE ITSELF!!!!! SHAME ON YOU!!!! SHAME! SHAME! |
|
| |
Language drift over time, old boy. //To some traditionalists, this is still the only correct meaning. However, over the last 100 years or so, another, more general use has arisen: ‘invite an obvious question,’// (Oxford) |

SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME!!!!! |

PIE *skem-, from *kem- "to cover". i.e., a word used to have a certain meaning at a certain point in time, and then at a later point in time it came to have a different meaning. |
|
| |
If earlier meanings are better that later meanings then we all have to sit on the floor of a cave and grunt. |
|
| |
Yeah - we've evolved much beyond that. Now we sit in the basement, point at a screen, click a little button, and grunt. |
|

[Voice] is right. But would he, perhaps, like to pause and
take a throat lozenge? |
|
| |
Isn't the crux of intelligence knowing the use case. I hope the failed skeletons aren't too Sinbad. |
|
| |
There is some form of a skeleton of an idea here. Let's
flesh it out a bit and see if it survives in the jungle of
common sense. |
|
| |
What if companies who declared bankruptcy were
required to take on training or retraining people, either
those they laid off or somesuch, in a fashion such as this,
into some new direction? |
|
| |
Nah. I see pitfalls a plenty; there's often a market reason
they failed originally, so market evolution is trying to kill
them off anyway. These skeletons would become blood-
sucking zombies feeding off of the brains of folks who
should be putting their experience and skills elsewhere. |
