(1). Large databases of information, lots of data.
“Companies will pay a lot of money for big data.”

RANDOM LINGO
Gaining Traction
(1). What you tell your boss when he asks how much the company’s made off of that really expensive ad campaign you talked him into running.
“Well, I don’t think it’s right to measure our success in dollar terms, you know? But I can say that we’re gaining traction in our target demos, except for men 18 to 49, women 25 to 55 or children.”
360 Review
(1). An unnecessarily long and painful process requiring co-workers to “anonymously” highlight each other’s shortcomings to management. While many people graciously decline to say anything too damaging, some use the review as an opportunity to settle personal scores or to climb the corporate ladder in the traditional way (i.e. by crushing their co-workers).
“Okay, team. It’s time for 360 reviews again. You need to ask at least 10 people and, remember, I don’t really read these things, so feel free to say anything you like.”
