Man, I used to find it comical when the executives would travel to a meeting somewhere and come back saying all the corporate buzzwords!

As we double-click on our go-forward strategy, we’ll leverage cross-functional synergies to socialize a scalable framework for operationalizing our strategic priorities. By aligning stakeholders around a shared North Star, we can unlock value across the enterprise, establish a cadence for continuous improvement, and build consensus around what alignment looks like at scale. We’ll circle back once we’ve scoped the scope and aligned on the next alignment touchpoint.

Had a career military guy come in at a high level a few years back and we messed with him about needing acronym training before each email. It was over the top.

My favorite was, "anyone can pick the low hanging fruit."

At our annual national meetings we would speculate as to the battle cry for the new year.

"Facing a turning point? Turn it into your launchpad."
"Where uncertainty meets opportunity, we open the door."

I’m not sure I would classify expected deliverables as jargon.

Most of these posters deliverable is a time sheet and a wrench

Bc of you guys profit margins yall are the last to adopt any new ways of working or technologies in regards to doing business (not medicine practice)

It’s hilarious to get takes from my wife on how inefficient yall are.

I started a new role a month ago. I like my new boss, but he is mega cringe with an overload of corporate jargon. I basically have to translate the corporate lingo into workman's English to decipher what to do.

Example from recent email:
"a weekly ---- cadence kicks off next week so we are zippered up across BUs on risks, decisions and leadership actions. That governance discipline will be important as we establish our standard work." Translation: We're going to meet more so everyone can be on the same page.

Synergy sounds like boomer / Gen X speak. I'm not sure I vibe with that.
