“Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler”
Both fantastic Einstein quotes, which in the current climate of top down targets, NHS trusts measured to within an inch of their life but still failing to perform, schools inspected, targeted and counted but still failing to deliver education are very important. And why is it true that not everything that can be counted counts? Because when we count things we tend to take a reductionist view of them, if we count a and b then a+b will equal c (the thing we want to achieve), but as Einstein said we need to make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler...
