Responsible for improving value for money by driving up standards and capability in procurement
Now, let's see, how would you improve value for money? I know! An expensive branding exercise. That'll do it.

When it was presented to OGC staff it didn't take long for them to look at the new brand logo (emblazoned on mouse mats and so forth) from all angles:
Apparently they are pressing ahead with it anyway. A spokesman for the OGC said (I kid you not) this: We concluded that the effect was generic to the particular combination of the letters 'OGC' - and is not inappropriate to an organisation that's looking to have a firm grip on government spend.
That's Right,
HMK
