How not to speak like a business idiot
From http://presentationzen.blogs.com:
QUESTION: Your boss says the following to you:
“How can we repurpose our results-driven strategy for scalability and a maximization of best-practice, frictionless, future-proof alignment moving forward?”
How would you answer?
(A) “Excellent question, boss! Let me interface with my people off-line for cross-departmental buy-in and I will ping you later. By the way, that is a world-class tie you are wearing!”
(B) “Let me drill down and link up with the first movers in the org to come up with a killer value proposition for all the stakeholders. By the way, that is a real best-of-breed necktie you are wearing!”
(C) “Well, this kind of paradigm shifting, outside the box thinking will require some more bandwidth. I will cross-check with our mission critical repurposing agenda and see what kind of game plan we can go-live with A-Sap. Hey, new tie? Kool!”
(D) Umm…what?
