McRainy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 More slogans than buzzwords, but anything with the words excellence or solutions in. In fact, I just wondered if anyone had called themselves Excellence Solutions, and they have. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08375654 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young lad in the office use to phone customers and you could guarantee that within 10 seonds he'd say he was calling to 'touch base' with them. This is the same young lad who called a customer named Sean and asked for "Seen" for about 5 minutes. No actual life experience, just a head full of 'professional' language. He soon ducked off back to Daddy and the family business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually we put together a (very) long list of buzzwords and phrases and made some cards up to take and play "Buzzword Bingo". Ironically this made us listen that bit harder so probably had a reverse effect to what we expected. Senior Management caught us and were not amused. Later I had to run similar stuff, or present to Customers, and made great efforts not to include these sort of phrases, but it is very hard.. as the actress said to the... My favourite, said as a description of a colleague who was known to bend with the views of the most senior person present, was: He not only changed horses mid stream but changed streams as well! Play Buzzword Bingo once in a team meeting in which everyone but the boss took part. When she produced the ‘get a handle on’ phrase, ‘house ‘ was called very loudly and everyone but the boss fell about laughing. Great fun although we had to own up what we’d been doing later on.

ONGOING DEVELOPMENT SITUATION It means "It doesn't work yet and probably never will". I think we're a similar era Eddie, did you used to have a 'random buzzword generator'? A simple computer program which picked 2 adjectives and 1 noun from a list of 60's computer jargon. Very amusing at the time and a complete waste of company resourses.

ram1964 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Out of the corporate scene these days but a few bug bearers for me were. Let's run with it. Take it to a new level, equalling same old just regurgitated. New frontiers, wtf??? Optimal performance enhancements leading to minimal human /financial resources. Think this was generally interpreted as do your colleagues job as well as your own for a minimal bonus so we can save on wages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
