Came across this and thought it would be a good share - L&D and HR are notorious for using jargon, abbreviations and a different language to our business buddies. Buzzwords are plentiful and we're all probably guilty of using 1 or 2 buzzwords.
So which buzzwords would you like to see the back of? Take a look at the infographic below from OfficeVibe - the full article can be accessed here

I heard many times "You need to think out of the box" phase. I think Google company is guilty of this term. I hear they ask and want they employees to think out of the box all the time.

Call me a wild running-dog of neologistical conservatism, but couldn't we revivify existing terminology, respectively:
1. Novel
2. Additive
3. Privately
4. Self-interest
5. Determined
6. Reconvene
7. Credulous
8. Progress
9. Review
10. Deadline
(Clever marketing ploy) :-))))
As an alternative to 'Officevibe' might I suggest the slightly longer, but more useful, "DPG Level 7 Leadership and Managment Module, a piece of paper and a pen"?
Sincerely,
Old-fashioned of Bristol
Love this Les - it did make me smile :)
