DEV-T ANALYSIS
(Continues HCO Pol Ltrs of 17 Nov '64
and 31 Jan'65)
Probably the basic reason for the expansion of bureaucracies is Dev-T.
When Admin staff in one of our orgs begins to exceed Tech staff then it
is obvious
that a lot of Dev-T is on the lines. Proof of this is the continual finding
that an increase
in Admin staff does not lead to an increase in income but on the contrary
often heralds
an era of decreased gross income.
Within reason, you must not increase Admin staff numbers until you have
thoroughly hunted down all Dev-T and taken adequate remedies for it.
When a government sees a lot of despatches it thinks it needs a lot of
people.
These, making more Dev-T, then seem to need many more people, etc. The cure
for a
lot of despatches without a lot of new income showing up is a brisk
analysis of the
org's comm lines.
This is simply done.
1. Look around for constantly full and not emptied In baskets. When you
find one
in which the traffic does not move, look the post over carefully and
decide which
one of the following to do on the basis of what you find on that post
(a) educate
or (b) replace. If, when (a) is done, the basket again remains as
before, do (b).
2. Look into people's baskets for despatch and letter dates. If you find
a basket
where these are quite old, find out why and make up your mind what to do
about
it on the basis of what you find.
3. Look into drawers for cached despatches, letters, etc. If you find a
drawer full,
realize somebody is staying clean on the boards by hiding what should be
visible.
Find out why this violation is occurring and act accordingly.
4. Look over the traffic flow of the principals of the Org (Assn/Org
Sec, HCO Sec) and
analyze their traffic on the basis of the number of offline, offpolicy,
off-origin
despatches. Note what staff members are doing these and act accordingly.
5. Make the principals of the org keep logs of offline, offpolicy, off-
origin
despatches and also bodies brought with despatches. After one week, take
these
logs and, as they spot the Dev-T artists in the org, act accordingly.
The main thing to know is never get reasonable about Dev-T. If it
doesn't cure by
education or other means, then you have no choice but to act. The sooner
you act, the
better for everyone.
NO WORK
The Anglo-Saxon race has a crazy spot on the subject of work. The whole
ambition is to not work.
This is quite at variance with several other races and normal thetan
behaviour.
Easily the greatest source of Dev-T is non-compliance or no-comm.
You can say all you want about despatches and analyze them thoroughly
and
with benefit to all.
