The root of all business-speak

i never saw eye-to-eye with my old manager, a nice South African lady who nevertheless used to ask me (w/r/t sales strategy) if I was 'building a pipeline'. I literally had no clue what she was talking about, having never encountered this expression and especially with an accent that sounded like she was saying 'bi-plane' :-/

wow sterl that is a prize specimen

Building a pipeline = meh. otoh, building a biplane = A+! Then you can fly it instead of attending meetings.

i've got one more thing i want to cover off

i am tired of hearing "triage"

Just saw the verb "to feedback", as in

"I'd like to feedback on the excellent level of service..."

In January 2014 the Government published its response to the Transforming Youth Custody consultation outlining its plans to introduce Secure Colleges, a new form of youth detention accommodation with innovative education provision at its core which will equip young offenders with the skills, qualifications and self-discipline they need to turn away from crime.

The consultation response confirmed that a purpose-built Secure College Pathfinder would be opened in the East Midlands in 2017. If the Pathfinder proves successful it will inform our vision for the future of the youth custodial estate in England and Wales.
