Corporate Speak

Can anyone tell me what a "thought-leadership program" is? I read it today in an internal memo, and need a translation.

Wow. Ok, then.

Thanks, Freed Roger.

So we're on a telecon today reviewing the "optics" of our charts for an upcoming corporate review. I have trouble focusing spending time doing mindless stuff like this to satisfy some suited-up wonk when I could actually be productive doing things that might get me home quicker. So the conference room I'm working in has a bunch of posters on the walls which are basically blow-ups of various past proposal cover pages that we've submitted. I noticed something "slightly askew" about the one I've been sitting right next to for the last week. I'm embarassed this was actually submitted and also stunned that it took me this long to notice it, but I just had to chuckle. Later I took a pic so you all could enjoy too.

This is at the bottom of the page. Nice optics, right?? (and yes, we won the deal)

I am listening to a webinar on social media for businesses. It is a veritable masturbatory fest of buzzwords. My screen is covered in goo.

It doesn't claim detail-orentiation. I see no issues.
