Blue skies thinking?

Soo 1990's

No - you need a Blue Ocean strategy.

sasguru was that manager and I claim yet another £5 (i'm doing well today)

A manager I worked for a number of years back came out with the brilliant:-

"We'll have to run a loosley packed straw man up the flagpole"

No, I didn't have a clue what the f**k he was talking about either.

He left shortly afterwards. "Head-poached" to go and work for ICL I think.

Makes perfect sense to me. He meant create an issue that everyone thinks is important to deflect attention from the real issue, but also ensure that the fake issue is easily dismantled. Standard technique.

I hope we hear lots of buzz words in the meeting, e.g.:

Empower
Stregthen Position
Take Ownership
Increase Porfolio

Indeed, going forward, there needs to be a new paradigm. Our client-facing organisation should be lean and mean and results-driven, using our core competencies to produce best-of-breed market-oriented products. At the next meeting I will give you a heads-up on where we are viz-a-viz our goals.

You are just too good at this....

You are some permie manager working in the city and I claim my £5

Doing work? That's against the permie spirit. I'd rather keep posting here. I don't want to destroy the category.

[sasguru]

Are we looking for a holistic approach?

Absolutely. A holistic, entreuprenerial approach to take advantage of the current market opportunities engendered by my blue-skies thinking. We need to empower the internal stakeholders within our organisation with our bold, innovative and dynamic strategy.

[Mordac]

Are we feck. You always want to bring religion into it...

[sasguru]

Do some work?

Wouldn't dream of anything so vulgar, old chap. That's what the hired help are for.

I would like you all to demonstrate some thinking outside the box and also try and take in the view from 30,000 feet. What we need is to try to leverage some of the synergy derived from our empowerment and take ownership going forward.

That's definitely full house on buzzword bingo.
