{{ | {{pe}}Men and women who understand the deadline for everything, but the point of nothing, these are the blessèd folk whose lot in life is to assess your [[compliance]] with measurable criteria because — not being [[subject matter expert]]s — they have no means of assessing anything else. | ||
Your department’s | Your department’s commitment — probably given, in a typical moment of weakness or inattention, by the [[GC]] who was [[GC]] three [[GC]]s ago — to review annually the firm’s fleet of template [[confidentiality agreement]]s is a fertile hunting ground for the kind of [[operational error]] incidents which are [[IA]]’s meat and drink. | ||
It will not matter whether anyone ''used'' the template, much less that there was nothing ''wrong'' with it — your failure to do what [[Chip]], in your absence<ref>Indeed, likely before your employment, in a kinder time, before the great financial crisis.</ref> | It will not matter whether anyone ''used'' the template, much less that there was nothing ''wrong'' with it — your failure to do what [[Chip]], in your absence,<ref>Indeed, likely before your employment, in a kinder time, before the great financial crisis.</ref> committed to do, [[quod erat demonstrandum]] is grounds for censure. | ||
Similarly, | Similarly, one hazards instant dismissal should one not complete all [[computer-based training]] by the designated time — there will be many system-generated email reminders, make no mistake — no matter how pointless the topic<ref>Health and safety in employment and records management are always good ones.</ref> or asinine the training on it — if in doubt the answer is “all of the above” —may be. | ||

Result: almost no [[Legal Eagles|lawyer]] in history has ever known how to properly use an [[indemnity]], but [[internal audit]] have never been the wiser. In the mean time, the financial system seems to have weathered our collective feyness about indemnities all right. So far. | ||
The secret, for the most part, is to steer clear of [[service level agreements]], [[key performance indicators]], [[target operating model]]s. Articulate your contribution to the ongoing well-being and measurable aspects of your performance. The experienced commercial solicitor is a vessel for ineffable wisdom. His output is incomprehensible genius. So in large part this is quite manageable. | The secret, for the most part, is to steer clear of [[service level agreements]], [[key performance indicators]], [[target operating model]]s.
