Watch your Stakeholders! - BAJR Host - 25th March 2009 One for the council folk! Some 200 words and phrases have been banned from use in local government because, "unless information is given to people to explain what help they can get during a recession, then it could lead to more people ending up homeless or bankrupt," according to the Local Government Association (LGA). Among words and phrases now banned are: Cascading Menu of choices Transformational Client Stakeholder engagement and Stakeholders Slippage Benchmarking Best practice See, this whole bad economy thing? It was just a little misunderstanding. ?When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend.? William Blake Watch your Stakeholders! - Wibblehead - 25th March 2009 There are a few words and phrases I would add to the banned list, as they make me cringe every time i hear them.... 'draw down'and 'touch base' are two of my least favourite. ~~~~~ Thunder rolled. ... It rolled a six. Watch your Stakeholders! - Oxbeast - 25th March 2009 You're not allowed to say 'client'??? what else are you meant to call the person on whose behalf the work is carried out. My instinctive feeling is this is so they can pay management consultants to come up with new buzz words. Watch your Stakeholders! - RedEarth - 25th March 2009 Quote:quote:Originally posted by Wibblehead Is 'touch base' the same as 'touch cloth'? Watch your Stakeholders! - historic building - 25th March 2009 To quote my usual response on this matter. The only stakeholder I want to see is buffy the vampire slayer. Watch your Stakeholders! - voice of reason - 25th March 2009 I will personally strangle anyone who uses the phrase 'going forward' when they mean 'in the future' or 'from now'. Watch your Stakeholders! - BAJR Host - 25th March 2009 how about 360 degree vision structured programmes with a stakeholder interface using current best practice. Tis time for Plain Speaking ! ?When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend.? William Blake Watch your Stakeholders! - Austin Ainsworth - 25th March 2009 I see that 'community engagement' and 'partnerships' are also banned words. That makes working in partnership with voluntary groups on community heritage engagement programmes a little difficult. Watch your Stakeholders! - RedEarth - 25th March 2009 Quote:quote:Originally posted by voice of reason Can archaeologists therefore use 'going backward' to mean 'in the past'? Watch your Stakeholders! - Wibblehead - 25th March 2009 Quote:quote:Originally posted by Austin Ainsworth Am trying to think what to replace 'community engagement' with in the project design i am currently drafting.... ... 'to encourage local potentially non-professional persons in a unification exercise focussed on past events and the relevance they can provide to current societies'..... errrr......
