(1). How fancy, snooty business men concluded meetings in England in the mid 1800’s.
(2). How fancy, snooty bankers & Wall Street folk currently conclude meetings.
“Old business?! No? On to new business then..”
New Business
Old Business
(1). How fancy, snooty business men began meetings in England in the mid 1800’s.
(2). How fancy, snooty bankers & Wall Street folk currently begin meetings.
“Old business?! No? On to new business then..”
Silo
(1). To split your people into departments in order to operate more efficiently…and to get the weirdos on your staff as far away from clients as possible.
“I think we’re big enough now that we should consider silo-ing off some special functions. Hey Sam, how would you like to run the new Copying and Printing Department?”
RANDOM LINGO
Punt
(1). Word incorrectly used to describe making a decision when the subject matter situation changes, affecting the original plan. Should instead referred to as ‘calling an audible.’
“If that doesn’t work out, we’ll have to punt.” (Facepalm)
Props to Cosgrove for the submission.
Paradise Analysis
(1). Another way to describe the wish list you are about to present to you boss for that new system you want him to pay for.
“Okay, so this is our paradise analysis for the new custody platform. If we even get a third of this, we’ll be in good very good shape.”
