Bob, I am not one for buzzwords, management-BS-speak etc either, but sometimes it helps to crystallise what we already well know in our hearts, to have it put down in words precisely. Apart from anything else it makes for precise communication amongst people who all understand the buzzword. It is just another form of jargon if you likel but jargon is a good way of communicating concisely provided the terms are understood by all parties.
I will confess to finding a few of the presentations at the excellent conference JimL mentioned, "a little above my head" and was left wondering why it had to seem so complicated when it was clear that we were getting the most fundamental basics wrong, but I liked "Resilience" because it sums up the characteristics of the sort of pilot you and I would like to be flown around by.
