Strategy

Lord Adonis just used the word “strategy” (or “strategies”) 10 times in 57 seconds. That’s a shitload of strategy. I’m at the stage where the word has ceased to have what tattered remnants of meaning it had left after the civil swervice (typo, but stet) had already ravaged it. It’s now just a collection of empty syllables. Strategy, strategy, strategy, strategy. Straaaaategyyyyyy. Nope, it’s gone. The word is dead to me.

I liked this entry better before you fixed the final punctuation.

Lord Adonis! It's bad enough that he's an Adonis, but he's a Lord too! He must have the ladies hanging off him.

Civil service speak would be a lot more exciting if they referred more to 'schemes'. 'The Government is scheming to establish 10,000 children's centres by 2010...' etc.

I work in Strategy :( My favourite words are strategy, evidence, outcome, delivery and indicator.
