THE ASR TRANSLATION GUIDE

Corporate Speak. Translated.

We spent decades learning the language. Now we're translating it back into English.

CORPORATE SPEAK
WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN
"Let's put that one in the parking lot."
That idea is never seeing daylight again.
"Let's double-click on that."
Can you explain that again? I wasn't listening.
"Operational efficiency."
We're going to do the same work with fewer people.
"Let's take this offline."
Please stop talking about this in front of everyone.
"We need to socialize this internally."
I need six people to approve something none of them understand.
"Let's circle back."
I'm hoping you'll forget about this.
"Our cloud automation software provides AI-driven insights and real-time performance management analytics to improve delivery efficiencies and risk management."
We have a dashboard. We're still figuring out what it does - and we put "AI" in there because investors like that.

Translations may vary depending on the number of executives in the room.
