This is a fantastically useful website for any of you poor fools who’ve been beached on the sanity barren corporate sandbank. You know who you are – you’re those who’d swapped changing the world for a barely concealed fist of death when confronted by such bollocks as:
“However, developing operational and conceptual learning must work within parameters which address the need for strategic decision-making oriented to market growth vectors. ”

Will it involve dinosaurs do you think?
Love it.
I think I know someone who gets most of what they say in meetings from that site. No names no pack drill.
Alex – I’ll look forward to your participation in future meetings 🙂
Andy. I’m going to b asked to be excused from any more of *those* meetings. I have a note from my mum 🙂
