Business language.

Reverend

Inspired by our company newspaper I think it's time The Fretboard embraced forward thinking business language that encapsulates our core identities whilst acknowledging key intersectionalities and the need for robust synergies. Agile posting will be important when we have difficult conversations.

You read the same paper?

Is that the kind of language your company had in mind? :-)

If we choose to dialogue in this way, we should probably empower someone to capture all the learns and then revert back to the group later.

Halt the rotating globe, I wish to disembark.

(For those of us who believe in a round Earth that is.)

RandallFlagg

I'm not sure I have the bandwidth for this right now, maybe we should touch base offline and take a helicopter view, grab the low hanging fruit and then socialise the output before squaring the circle?

Lewy

There's still time to Apollo 13 this if we drill down into the underlying drivers, take an authentic approach to the solutioning  and engage all stakeholders.

It's time that we became uber-efficient with our systemised modular time-phases to compellingly reinvent collaborative collaboration and idea-sharing. We need a more contemporary reimagining of the homogenised third-generation Fretbord forum.

I don't disagree, but the elephant in the room is that any such undertaking will need to be insight-led and heavily reliant on predictive analytics, and I'm concerned that we don't have our ducks in a row on that yet.

If you ask me for a straight answer, then I shall say that, as far as I can see, looking at it by and large, taking one thing with another, then in the final analysis it is probably true to say, that at the end of the day, in general terms, you would probably find that - not to put too fine a point on it - there probably isn't very much in it one way or the other.

Well then we need to workshop it across a diverse audience to arrive at an enhanced level of granularity, don't we.

There's not enough blue sky thinking in this post. You need to reimagine the possible.

For example "Let's dramatically predominate cross-media virtualization"

Bridgehouse

Looks like we ran it up the flagpole and nobody saluted this idea, so it's time to start getting our song sheets out and singing from the same one. 

Or, alternatively, we could fuck it off as a shit idea. No?

Legionreturns

Imagineering is definitely more robust than pure thinking. Time to put those old ideas out to grass. 

Trude

Can't we concretise all of these ideas?  The problem right now is we're all trying to force more than one elephant into the same bucket.

(both genuine quotes from bosses I've had)

Lewy

Yeah, let's not try and boil the ocean. Marginal gains, black box thinking...that's what we need here.

You've gone for a quick win with low hanging fruit.

Blue sky thinking is so limiting - there's a whole universe beyond. But you need to stay grounded. Eagles soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.
