The number of post offices is less than 12000. If there is a robot technician installing the system flat out, working every single day, and only one post office a day, it will take 33 years. Doing 3 post offices a day will take 11 years. With 6 robots, it will completed within 2 years. not if the robot is designed and built by Fujitsu and its operation overseen by the Post Office. In that case it will result in 1,200 of the 12,000 post offices being robbed and their post masters mugged; when the robot isn't sure how to install the system it will try to contact its central control centre which will be manned by more robots that don't have a clue how to help and make matters worse; the robot will fail to create any reliable records of what it has done and not done, so no-one will know which POs the system has been installed and which haven't; and by the time the mess is sorted out the system will be obsolescent and they'll have to start over again.

😅 I have just find out POL has a CTO. Yes a CTO, but not Chief Technology Officer.
Mr Brocklesby was hired last year as a Chief Transformation Officer and he is leaving this September.
What a transformation!
He used to be the CIOs for Tesco, Easyjet, Vodafone and successfully implemented system transformation.
What is a CIO anyway?

Not sure who is running this show these days, but the decisions they seem to make are off the scale crazy taxpolicy.org.uk/2024/10/01/the-post-office-pushing-postmasters-to-accept-75000-compensation-without-legal-advice/"Postmasters previously offered derisory compensation by the Post Office are being given a new opportunity to claim under an independent appeals process. The Post Office has written to them offering the choice of appealing, or accepting a £75k flat payment. It’s one or the other – a difficult decision for which postmasters should receive detailed legal advice. But they’re being offered no help with legal costs, and few postmasters will be in a position to afford a lawyer. Many will take the path of least resistance and simply accept the £75k – which in some cases will be much less than they should receive." |

Chief Information Officer. I was an SIO - a Senior Information Officer - and started off as AIO (Assistant Information Officer), then was promoted to IO (Information Officer). I might have had the ability to progress to PIO (Principal Information Officer), but not to CIO. I was in the COI, part of the GIS (Central Office of Information in the Government Information Service).
