    New corporate buzzword I absolutely despise - Journey

    It’s not a fucking journey. It’s a process.

    Stop trying to make boring shit appeal interesting. It’s boring, but that’s a how it is. Changing the label doesn’t make it exciting.

      I’d put that on the backburner but to shy away from jargon like that is a paradigm shift.

        It might be worth circling back at a later date, to see what stakeholder uptake is like. Don’t forget it’s important to view these things through an organisational lens to ensure maximum buy-in.
