Reply to: A diagonal slice...

Yes indeed, that is exactly what I would imagine being usefully described as "diagonal", but I didn't see any mention of that in the description.

Oh that ... I got that off some management website. It was obviously the wrong place to look for any sensible description of anything!

You sound too good at this wob! What is it that you do again?

I find 'Bulltulip Generator' websites.

It does have a logic to it. If you imagine the hierarchies of several departments drawn side-by-side, there are your two dimensions.

We will, of course, need to synthesize visionary bandwidth, in order to visualize bricks-and-clicks technologies. Because if we can't enhance cross-media ROI then how can we hope to strategize efficient applications.

Going forward.

Good, well done. As long as you get ticks in all the right boxes then we should be good to go.

Whoa, hold off a little! Maybe we should throw some more ideas at the wall and see what sticks

What about the elephant in the room? Should we slice and dice it?

There are definitely oportunities here, going forward. I'll bounce it off my people and see if we can organize a blue-sky, out-of-the-box, brainstorming breakfast meeting?

Just as long as you "keep us in the loop" on this one ok?

We should start a thread on company buzzwords....

Slice, OK. What's "diagonal" about it?

Or is it just a phrase that someone has heard (it does have a meaning: to slice or scan across 2 dimensions, gaining something from each) and thought would make their simple concept sound more cool?

What DS does is accept that by taking a representative cross section (a diagonal slice through the organisation), you will pick-up a number of people within any given role, and that these people will represent the skills, knowledge and attitudes of a number of their peers.

To be effective the DS requires input from managers/line managers to ensure the analysis group really does represent a valid cross section of their team/part of the organisation.

Ah yes, I know where you work then...

Oh feck me now it’s already been abbreviated to a 'DS'... I give up

Sounds like permie nonsense to me. I sugest you decline the invite....
