SmackD style Solutioning

One of the problems of being extremely professional is that your verbatim gets so verbose and jingoist - its almost like you are the Oxford dictionary of jargons for your industry. This is my humble attempt to codify this corporate epidemic. 

Before I download this blog to you, I hope you’re up for some alignment – my two cents on the phrases we overuse and abuse. I have no doubt that you have the bandwidth to process it.

There was a time in my adolescence when somebody's professional language brightened my day. But at EOD there is only so much I can do FYI and hope it inspires some n/a from your end. There’s only so much Knowledge Transfer one can enjoy. Needless to say, this calls for a paradigm shift. Going forward, we need an action plan to revisit these phrases and downsize them. Once all this gets frozen we need to close all loops.

From my point of view, you will have to be a bit proactive and push the envelope. Perhaps you should start thinking outside the box. But on second thoughts just double check whatever value add you think you might be doing. Maybe for a differentiated outlook, you need to be disruptive and the benchmark practice is to realign your priorities and stay inside the box. 

Let me help drive clarity – originality is No child's play. If it was, it would have been on X-Box on Playstation or Lego. At this point, we need to remain goal-oriented and result-focused. For now, I’m even willing to pretend the two are not redundant. If you leverage your skill-set smartly, you could actually come up with a synergistic solution to every problem. And thats why, if we ever find ourselves on the same page, you could bookmark it.

While we are at it, there’s another thing we need to transition into – we need to stop verbing nouns. Especially nouns which don’t exist. For instance, you do not incent people or punt on them. You pay them. It’s extremely annoying. Let me translation that for you – it really annoyances me.

You could use any method you deem fit and deploy buy your horses for diploma courses strategy. You could parachute in with fellow managers, do some blue sky thinking, or even resort to old-fashioned brainstorming. Statutory warning: The lattermost might require a brain. 

I do recommend thought showers, however. It might send right signals to our web partners that nothing they ever do has anything to do with the real sense of the term.

I’m certain by now you might have noticed how incoherent I’ve been sounding. Well, that’s how you sound 24/7. Don’t think any more. Just go ahead and pull the trigger. Else I will. The aftermath could be discussed during post-mortem.

We’ll touch base soon for a performance & development review - where I look forward to your developmental inputs. If you have anything further to add to this, lets take it offline.
