LOL! I work in High Tech and Business Consulting Services, and I hear and use most of those words daily. In fact, I've grown fairly weary of them by now *sigh*. Other words I'm really tired of:
leverage value-add procurement right-shoring
Yuck.
And I get invited to way too many Webinars each week. Ugh!
"Right-shoring" is an evolution of the term "off-shoring" which means to provide services from somewhere else, better, cheaper....as in outsourcing one's manufacturing to India or China.
Right-shoring refers to optimizing where/how you do something -- manufacture clothing, develop software, etc. Is it better to do it domestically, or somewhere else....usually referring to labor arbitrage and cost savings.

ReplyDeleteWebinar is such an ugly word. Its not too bad written down, but spoken it just sounds silly.
