Dictionary.com calls ideation "the process of forming ideas or images."

It reminds me of something I used to do with a coworker at a previous company.... It was called B.S. Bingo. Throughout the course of the day, anytime a consultant or employee used a "marketing buzzword" you would mark it down. Whoever had the most at the end of the day had sat through the most unproductive meetings. Here are some of my favorites:

* Ideation - the opposite of deciding and the mortal enemy of the OODA Loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act.
* Best Practices - does that even make grammatical sense?
* Managing Expectations - how about working hard to exceed expectations instead?
* Out of the Box - nothing shows how *in* the box you are than using this phrase
* Core Competencies - how about "what you do best"?

The rest of these I copied/pasted:
Synergy
Strategic fit
Bottom line
Revisit
Take that off-line
24/7
Out of the loop
Benchmark
Value-added
Proactive
Win-win
Think outside the box
Fast track
Result-driven
Empower (or empowerment)
Knowledge base
At the end of the day
Touch base
Mindset
Client focus(ed)
Ballpark
Game plan
Leverage
Cascade
Sequential or sequentially

Ok - back to real work!
