In It Should Never Happen Again, Dr Mike Lauder questions the value
of public inquiries. Every day, we hear about another inquiry being
set up, or why the last one failed to deliver the hoped for
outcomes. A great deal of time and taxpayers' money is spent on
inquiries and even more on implementing their recommendations, but
the author suggests that those conducting inquiries might be
considered (by their own test) criminally negligent in the way they
do so and that it is no surprise that they do not lead to the
learning they should. The focus of Mike Lauder's research is the
gaps between what is known, what knowledge is used by practitioners
and those who judge them. He contends that the difference between
the judicial perspective and that of practitioners who are judged
by the inquiry process creates barriers that impede others from
learning. Crucially, inquiry outcomes do not assist the leadership
of organisations to improve risk governance. It Should Never Happen
Again is based on research into high profile public inquiries and
presidential commissions in the UK, the USA, Continental Europe,
and elsewhere. Embracing issues ranging from terrorist attacks to
pollution, fire and air disasters; criminal cases; banking and
bribery scandals; and the state of public services, Mike Lauder
contrasts the judicial perspective of those who inquire, the
academic perspective of those who know and the practical
perspective of those who are required to act, and offers new models
for understanding risk and its governance.
