Det var kanske inte exakt vad alla förväntat sig av påven, men i affärstidningen Fortune utnämns han nu till ”elitmanager”:
”The wildly popular Francis is more than a pontiff of the people. He’s an elite manager who’s reforming the Vatican’s troubled finances.”
Det är förvisso inte vilken storföretagare som helst som Fortune berättar om, men en del låter mycket välbekant:
Francis has brought in some of the biggest brand names in the world of business. KPMG is implementing uniform, internationally accepted accounting standards to replace the Vatican’s previous crazy quilt of bookkeeping. EY (the former Ernst & Young) is scrutinizing management of the Vatican’s stores, utilities, and other municipal services. Deloitte & Touche now audits the accounts at the Vatican bank. And Spencer Stuart has recruited top management talent from around the globe. Heading the effort to restructure media operations, assisted by McKinsey & Co., is Lord Christopher Patten, a former head of the BBC and the last British governor of Hong Kong.
Till skillnad från en vanlig storföretagsledare har påven ju inte en styrelse att rapportera till. Men trots det gäller samma insikt för honom som för hans mer världsliga kollegor:
To serve his higher calling as a pope of the people, Francis knows, he must continue to keep one eye on the bottom line.
