The theme is that TBI has long been financially mismanaged, which partly accounts for its long-term ability to flourish. (The other reason is the mixture of toxic and even pathological personalities who have controlled…
In this series we are offering our reading of recent major changes at the top of TBI. In the first part we suggested that all the new titles and the shroud of secrecy can be simply explained by the vestiges of Mariam’s connections and power. She has been offered a face saving deal whereby she…
We have long been arguing that one of the main reasons that The British Institute is failing is because of the inept TBI Director, Mariam Kartikatresni.
