BuzzWords

I've heard many buzzwords in my life, but over last 10 years I couldn't point my finger at what exactly bothers me. I still can't - however, at this point I'm convinced that any company that uses too many of these words - has no idea what they are doing, and lost (if ever had) its direction:

  • agile
  • end-to-end
  • scalable
  • solution
  • ecosystem
  • monetization
  • decisioning
  • paradigm
  • next-generation
  • leverage
  • framework
A good friend told me once: if you can't explain a concept to a 7 year old, you don't understand it yourself. I don't think 7 year olds, know any of the words above.

I'm pretty sure my 2.5 year old son, Sammy, knows what "solution" means. However, your point is well taken.

Perhaps I should stop asking him if he wants to "change the poop paradigm?" when I want him to sit on the potty.
