I don’t know, I get the feeling Sir Humphrey would approve of this fine piece of statecraft (unless of course it was an adversary of Her Majesty’s government, in which case he would be appropriately concerned)

I agree re KPIs and engineering. But, statecraft is people. You’re not dealing with bits :)

The real question is why did anyone even think KPIs were effective in the first place.

Exactly, I'm sure Boeing and Intel both had KPIs coming out the walls but both have had major engineering issues recently.
