Corporate Babble

[rhythmaning]

Last week, on a corporate website, I read this:

" in short, can we use the board to drive policy learning to help us to stimulate the system change that will lead to a step change in achievement around the smarter outcomes?"

I have absolutely no idea what they were talking about. None at all. (Although frankie_ecap thought she understood it perfectly. I found this worrying...)

Along similar lines, today I read this:

" This strategy is set within the improvement agenda to provide momentum and structure for change".

Once more, baffled.

What’s worrying, though, is the thought I might actually write stuff similarly vacuous.

Lastly, I recently read a bottle of washing up liquid (the sad life I lead!) which promised:

"Hygenic Cleaning"

which just got me to wondering how many products were offering me unhygienic cleaning? Or am I missing something?

(a) do you work for the same company as Dilbert?
(b) those first two things are not communication
(c) I'm not even sure the first one *means* anything, and
(d) the sentence should be taken out and shot, and
(e) so should the person who wrote it.

Those are *horrible*.

Surely the answer to the question posed in the first one is "No you can't, because you just made up that question by stringing together some phrases you read in Management For Dummies, and you're not entirely sure what you're asking yourself."

Unhygienic cleaning = tongue bath. Ask any cat ;)

Unhygenic? Every way I spell this looks wrong.
