Acceptable office speak

I think if we take a helicopter view of things then there might be some low-hanging fruit that we can prioritise for future empowerment.  With that done we can drill down into the logistics of the situation and see if it's going to be scalable, allowing us to really leverage our assets and take it to the next level. 

On the contrary Leon, I believe you should leverage your current synergies to bottom out your fiscal outflow thereby providing the fiscal stability to allow some blue sky thinking around the pros and cons of sticking to your knitting, at this time, or, going forward, to diversifying into synergistic product categories.

You might consider creating the posts of Senior Operations Director (Strategy) and Operations Deputy Director (Strategy).

Because you never know when odds and sods might be useful

Better still, have a nice cup of tea and a few minutes peace and quiet It would be well deserved!

You guys are good BUT!

BZZZZZtttt: Repetition of fiscal (You'd never catch Derek Nimmo falling into that trap).

The real posts you need are: Senior Operations Director (Strategy) and Senior Strategy Director (Operations)
Let them fight and place bets.

Ah! But fiscal outflow is the purview of Finance (Supplier Management) while fiscal stability makes it a matter for Finance (Accounting) and one needs full engagement with the process by all those with a dog in the fight .... and, as you so ably point out with your suggested job titles, how can you have a fight if there are no competing vested interests? And one needs full and frank discussion of all issues to ensure we are all singing from the same hymn sheet

I did work briefly with a bloke from a client's R&D arm whose job title was Vice-President Blue Sky Thinking who's job seemed mainly to consist of thinking of potentially Darwin Award winning uses for their products so their legal team could draft warnings not to do them. You know, "don't trim your beard with the lawnmower" type stuff.

It's a pity bromide laced tea is no longer available, Phil. What a nice present that would be for Orcs as a thank you for all of these nice band-aids he sent you. 

Cheers - Phil

I remember one of my colleagues in a jargon filled meeting saying to the senior manager "The pigs are fuelled and lined up ready for take off!". It took a little while for that to be processed and when it was the meeting was quickly terminated and we went back to our proper work.

Best wishes,

I frequently use " Pig Squadron to control, landing permision #" it is a good un.

In short, more sculpty-sculpty, casty-casty...

I thought the whole idea of trying to pick low-hanging fruit is that you do not need to have a helicopter to pick them; using one might be a recipe for disaster.

Bog off, Ian !
