Many times in the latter part of my career I was encouraged to "drill down into it" or if it was something my bosses in Houston thought was really s*%t, I'd be asked/told to "have a deep dive". If a particularly rich contract was in the offing I'd have to "be client-centric" or "breath efficiency". EBITDA was the Holy Grail and I'd always mention it in conference calls so the Ivory Tower crew (who had no idea what our challenges are and thought we operated the same as everywhere else) would believe I always had the "bottom line" in mind.
And so it went on. There were many more buzzwords which I've thankfully forgotten. Bean counters are obsessed with them !

Almost as bad as the hippy electricity company that signed off every communication with "Love and Power". I did ditch them, for a few reasons, not least being that all correspondence was addressed to me as if I was some laid back millennial, as well as them getting the bill wrong for months on end.
Why organisations feel the need to re-invent language I don't know. I used to think it was just the useless twats in HR, but it seems to have spread everywhere now.

If unsure, there's a flow chart out there.

It appears some contributors centre of gravity is out of trim, and below the radar whilst not being totally aligned to peripheral influences.

Shotclock

Keep me honest
Long grass
Current flavours also include adoption, outcome and capture.
Hey, I am looking at the Shotclock. Keep me honest as I am struggling with adoption here. Without a favourable outcome, that will affect my Behaviour Index. We need to capture some outcomes otherwise the Shotclock could end up in the Long Grass.
