I've worked in consulting for most of my career and have a deep understanding of the meaning of these terms - but thanks for your definitions. The whole point is to make people feel silly for having to ask, even if you just made up the term. The whole point of the article was that business created / re-purposed a number of these things to mean something specific to _business_ rather than using regular words. The parent poster asked for some favorite examples of this, so I provided them. I am not saying that I think all these words are worthless in a corporate context, but if you trotted out some of this during a bar discussion you might get laughed at. All disciplines have their own languages, and to really know it you should speak it, but sometimes this is used to hilarious effect. "Hey - quick ask: can I link up with you tomorrow at 6 to talk fantasy baseball?" "Yeah, let me ping my stakeholders and make sure I can get a block for some real ideation, you know, deep work." "Alright. I'll take an action to get it on your calendar, and will capture learnings / best practices in a deck and send via email so we can circle back with the rest of the league." "Great, thanks."
