Corporate Jargon 101

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Corporate jargon; although being an absolutely meaningless vernacular, can make you feel productive and even somewhat important. If you haven’t already, try throwing out a few of the following key phrases during your next corporate meeting. You might be surprised at how savvy your colleagues think you are.

  • Give me the download on the new brand strategy when you have a minute.
  • We should net-down on a proof-of-concept before moving forward with production.
  • Let’s take this discussion offline and talk about resource-allocation.
  • Do you have the bandwidth to review this copy deck by end-of-day tomorrow?
  • I think grouping the content into three buckets would make the most sense.
  • You’ll get your list of deliverables during the kick-off on monday morning.
  • Grab James and we’ll have a pow-wow about these new wireframe schematics.
  • Go ahead and table that idea for now and we’ll revisit it later.
  • Did you get that sandbox set up for back-end development of the new microsite?
  • I’ll be out-of-pocket all next week, so we’ll have to reschedule our white-boarding session.
  • If we drill down a little deeper, we might be able to uncover the core values.
  • We’re getting some push-back from the client on this marketing budget.
  • Let’s get together for some blue-sky thinking around this viral campaign.

If you find that you are experiencing difficulty committing these and other corporate terms and phrases to memory, don’t fret. They are available in a handy flashcard format for quick and easy reference.
