Was just in a conference call with a Boston client - so international, daaahling, I know - a technology supplier, who wants to make sure their messaging is reaching clients for Q4, and we were talking about business, and what levels of sales they have. "They're not buying strategic implementations so much, as buying part of the vision". Last night, at dinner at Maroush with S - a management consultant - she actually said she was helping someone transform their organisation, and she didn't say it ironically. Last weekend, M, a consultant at the same firm, implied that their information services department (formerly known as the Library), didn't have appropriate project milestones to meet their objectives.

Whither old-fashioned jargon-free language.
