    A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there was a marketing dweeb with no discernible talent or ability; he did however hold a very well paid job. He felt he needed to justify his existence to the world, and prove his worth to the Company or (in those days of corporate and worldwide downturn) he might be let go, and have to return to living under a bridge with the other hobos. But (as we have said) he had no discernible talent or ability, so he determined to make it as difficult as possible for anyone to notice. Corporate Jargon was born! It spread like wildfire - after all, if people had any discernible talent or ability they wouldn't be marketeers - and became the mainstream language of the Business World. Since then, all decision driven customer centric morale focus has held a specific example of executive contributions will face significant resistance from internal stakeholder when it is run up the flagpole to see if anyone saluted.

      and I was tempted to answer however due to other CP posters showing hostility towards the post I changed my mind.

          Oh yes, I remember that time. I told the project designer that the documentation was not clear. That went down well.

            Only when you competently revolutionize prospective information and monotonectally maximize an expanded array of supply chains. Trust me, we've all been there :D

              I once took part in a decision drive by. There we were, thinking we were bad ass gangsta's in our gang colours (a rather nice looking pinstripe, with silk ties). When the fuzz showed up, we lawyered up faster than you can say "multiple layer transparency protocol, with internal focus on key deliverables".

                    This sounds suspiciously like another interview question. I took a look at your history and you complained, the last time you posted a question like this, that people told you that you had to answer things for yourself rather than looking for others to give you homework or interview answers. Now, this sounds like one of those questions where the interviewer is trying to find out how YOU have managed conflict, internal politics and project demands. Why do you think that my (or others) experiences will have any relevance for you? What happens when the interviewer attempts to drill deeper into your answer? How will you cope? This is all about YOUR experiences, and YOUR projects. As you don't work for me, our client experiences are wildly different so my answers would be meaningless in your situation. You might as well answer with details about what I had for breakfast (2 hi-fi bars), that's how relevant my experiences would be for you.

                      This is the wrong forum. You should this at Buzzword Bingo.[^] :-\
