Assignment Short StoriesDealing with the Elephant in the RoomMartin Wilson was brought in by one of the junior departments in a sensitive government programme. As a junior partner the department could not be seen to be disruptive but it had serious concerns about the programme scope. Martin explored the issues on an individual basis with the other parties and especially with the programme director. It showed that all were aware of problems with the programme direction, “the elephant in the room”, but felt powerless to deal with it. In just six weeks of sensitive negotiations Martin was able to generate consensus and get the programme redesigned and heading in a more appropriate direction.

Copyright Explained
All original work created by an individual or other legal body (e.g. a company) is protected by copyright. Copyright automatically exists on the creation of the work, in any medium and is granted to the author of that work who gains exclusive rights to define how and where the work is used, to benefit from that use and to be acknowledged as the author of that work.
This means that anyone who does not have written permission from the copyright owner must not reproduce the work in any medium or as part of another work. This includes publication in company presentations, on the internet, in anthologies, creating an audiobook from a written document, etc.
For copyright to be transferred from the owner, usually the creator, to a third party it has to be done formally in writing. It cannot simply be taken. So use of copyright material without permission is a breach of the copyright holder's rights and they can claim damages for that breach – possibly substantial.
