I think I read something like this in a company-wide email that came round recently to all employees... perhaps you could translate?

Perhaps I should add that in the currently implemented proactive business environment the preference is for the term "challenges" instead of "problems"

Yeah, you're right "challenges" . No Sir, we never had any problems, just challenges which lead us into filing chapter 11 .

Actually the mission statement above *shouldn't* make any sense at all - being one of the "Dilbert's Mission Statement Generator" breed .

I just love the bullcrap language, and strive to integrate it into everday B2B and B2C relationships .

"Chapter 11"? That sounds a lot like the company I work for except I can't talk about them at the moment as they're filing for an IPO in the States so I'd be breaking all the rules of the SEC (I think that's right but I'm not sure as I often get these acronyms mixed up! )

Here's todays example of corporate overkill:

I'm not joking now, this really was in the email I got this morning!

Gawd...

kinda like:

Falls are a leading cause of injury in the workplace. When walking, watch your step, place one foot in front of the other, never lift both up at the same time, ensuring a firm grip and encourage others to do the same.

I guess you got the SEC thing right... and the word IPO alone brings back long forgotten memories - I feel for you .

This whole safety thing makes life tricky... how can I run upstairs with my eyes shut, holding a large kitchen knife and a steaming hot cup of coffee (without a lid!) if I have to hold the handrail too?

And here's my personal favourite "corporate-speak" from a few months back:
I’m not sure exactly what a “value scenarioâ€

Yeah, and all you wanted to do is take the cat out of the microwave timely 'cause you thought 3:30 would be enough to get her dry after the bath .

... honestly... where is this planet heading !?

I love it...seeking our customer values; one marketer said to me that our customers' value is "easy to use" (with a straight and very serious face). I said that if indeed that is a differentiating value, could you please identify for me a customer...anyone's...whose value is "hard to use"?

One very unhappy marketer, boohoo.
