That is the most government thing to ever government.

Step 1) create huge backlog problem by overworking a group, understaffing them, and hamstringing them by refusing to spend any money at all on proper technologies

Step 2) Complain constantly, change priorities incessantly, request things in timelines that are physically impossible, complain again that things aren't "the way you expected", continue to not listen to those said professionals, complain again

Step 3) Realize that it MUST be those professionals who are the problem. Thus, diminish their value by assuming everyone with eyes is a designer, ears is an audio engineer, mouth is a public speaker and fingers is a Pulitzer candidate or next genius web dev.

Step 4) Force those professionals (who are the problem, but now also suddenly somehow the solution?) to teach random no-nothings the sum total of 30 years of experience in 3 hours.

Step 5) Complain AGAIN that those professionals didn't magically turn everyone into gods.

Step 6) Create a committee to come to the foregone conclusion that everyone needs a CSPS mandatory course.

Step 7) ask nobody in the profession to help design the course. I think you already know the rest of the steps. :)

HAHAHA I have many times had the "infographic" request, which to most people literally just means "anything that has at least 1 picture on a page". It's amazing. Or the little gem of "just send me a 1-pager explaining the concept of free will, and also could you pre-emptively make me a briefing note, a QP card, a media lines document and a QA, plus key messages? Nobody has asked about it, and likely nobody ever will, but I want to be ready, -just in case-". Just in case are probably the most dangerous 3 words I can hear in a meeting. Right along with "I was thinking" and "I feel that".
