| Leveraging core competencies |
[Mar. 23rd, 2008|04:19 pm] |
My neighbor works in software to teach "business English". I made some joke about only needing to know phrases like, "Our value-add is leveraging your core-competencies."
For fun, I threw some stupid words into Google Sets and got this. Love it. Wtf is "outfrastructure"? |

Outfrastructure would be things outside of your organisation that support its functions. One organisation's Infrastructure may be the outfrastructure of other organisations. The internet is one example of Outfrastructure.
I will be very happy when throwaway phrases like "At the end of the day" are no longer in vogue. One can always dream...
I'm ashamed to admit knowledge of this, but "outfrastructure" is what you have when you outsource your infrastructure.

How did "terrorist" end up in that set?
The opposite of "infrastructure", duh.

Inchresting tool. I didn't even know something like that existed. Do you know of any other obscure Google tools?
I like how it goes:
middleware
social competence
terrorist
Don't forget to architect synergy across your enterprise platform, delivering scalable, on-demand performance for b2b customers.

Want a job?
When I was in Japan, a number of people suggested that I teach "business" or "programming" English, and I was kind of like, "wtf, is there special English you use at work that I don't know about?"
