Going Forward

[Norm]

If we have an ideas shower, I think we can take it to the next level. We can get our ducks in a row as there are some low hanging fruit we can pluck, if we can leverage the bandwidth that we have available to us.

As we now have it on our radar, do we have a product evangelist who is also a platform atheist, we could touch base offline and maybe loop back to this forum at a point in the future.

I see where you're coming from here. Let me just run that up a flagpole and see if it comes down wet.

I always use I always thought it was "run that up the flagpole to see if anyone salutes"

Goodness - that's so last year!

This thread is still in the early phase - I'm pretty much just flying a kite and seeing if anyone looks up

Private Eye has a good series on "Communities" just now, neatly segued from the "Solutions" series.

You're all empowered to post more, don't let the grass grow too long.

Ducks in a row people, ducks in a row.

Thanks for the heads up on this, am I in the right arena, and do I have a field of entitlement?

Easy though, as I don't work on a farm!
I know someone who started a company with "synergy" in the name... jeezus!
About 10yrs ago I worked for an organisation where "continuous improvement" was the name of the game. Bunch of shysters made me redundant in the end, and my life has been a continuous improvement ever since I left the bunch of losers! (well, it was hard for a bit, obviously, now it's better)
I hate all this buzzword b0ll0kcs... really gets on my nerves. Time for a beer. Had a very duff day today.

That's one that our lot use too longers, I took it to mean 'break even'.
Utter shite isn't it.

Is this thread ramping up to go 3D?

Tim Wonnacott uses the expression "it wiped its face" to describe an item that broke even on Bargain Hunt, so I assumed it was a buying/selling/antiques phrase.

I was our rep in redundancy meetings and heard the phrase "at the end of the day, we've all got to wash our faces" uttered by the chief beancounter. Still not sure what he was talking about.

What a goon.......

"We are broke" is the better comment, or "got no fuggin money...."

 

[accountantpete]

They used to use it in cattle markets as well - as late as the seventies as far as I remember (well, that's the last time I went to one...)

I also used to go to disco's.!

Neither are we. Interdisciplinarity is the only solution.

 

[fossyant]

Communication folk....... well just fuggin tell us what's going on then........

 

[slowmotion]

...make no mistake, at the end of the day, the way forward is to embrace the technology and roll out a comprehensive raft of measures, countrywide, to ensure a very real uptake...blah, blah, blah..
