military Jargon updated

From the a recent RAF publication



our intent in collocating ***** and *****, is to produce an organisation that will improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the RAF's contribution to the Defence Vision.

We will do this by building structures and mechanisms which facilitate cross-command planning and alignment as well as delivering shared services to both commands, all this underpinned by coherent end to end process ownership


WHAT?

What they said was very important for you to understand as you must realise that building structures and mechanisms gathers cross-command planning and alignment and likewise cross-command planning and alignment screams into building structures and mechanisms.
So you see if building structures and mechanisms suffixes cross-command planning and alignment then it goes to follow that the invisible domestic staggers below cross-command planning and alignment. Come on its easy!!!!!!!

Ah but now I hear you say how does all this fit with the defence vision? Well it is simple. The doctrine briefs the method so, and this is important, effectiveness and efficiency revenges Defence Vision. Finally effectiveness and efficiency pencils Defence Vision with the algorithm and leaves us asking; why won't effectiveness and efficiency suspect after the aerial trilogy? Absolutely no idea on that one

So are you saying that the mechanism is end to end across the command planning to produce an organisation with a plan to build a structure that you can look inside to see a defence vision so that we are effective in alignment??

I think i get it now

There are people in positions of authority within JHC (especially at Odious it seems) who speak in 'management speak' like that all day.

A visit to 'Tesco' is almost certain to end in a full house for all you bullsh!t bingo fans.

Tsk tsk Helpful.
You must realise that one of the single most important developments in the RAF today is the continued evolution of capability-based planning and aquisition combined with cross-command planning and alignment. With strong imputs from the RAF and MOD the RAF's contribution to the Defence Vision are key elements in the capability-based approach to achieve coherence across the spectrum that is NATO and the British Armed Forces.
The central figure in focussing these algorithms within the RAF is the importance of its involvement in virtually all phases of building structures and mechanisms that will promugate this coherence and achieve a set of coherent Capabilities across the whole of the RAF.

Tescos is a very different fish indeed. All they are interested in is being the leading supermarket and making lots of cash.

Sounds like David Brent is writing this stuff.


Don't you just love the 'Corporate image' our Armed Forces have today?

Not sure if this is a 'wah' but you do know Tesco's is the nickname for a building at Odious full of people who speak just like you just did and appear to have a primary task of producing paperwork?

BTW, "house"! I managed two lines on my card from that little speech.

As a shareholder I do have an interest in what happens at Tesco. Tesco’s philosophy is a huge leap over the customer oriented parameters under which most other big retailers such as Sainsbury or Morrisons operate.
Tesco are constantly synchronising and marginalising their sector rivals to a point where they are almost nil as a potentially competitive market factor. They therefore dominate, in a total way, all the High streets and out of town shopping areas.
Their loyal customers and employees are a cohesive force, working to give the best profits year on year to the shareholders. While Tesco are continually setting their profits to a standard way above their competitors their loyal employees all continually eschew the "rules of retail war" in a most Enron/Ken Lay-like way; all while selling what really amounts to endless tons of cheap food and electrical crap to their thier target market: Yummy mummies, aged 22 to 34; as psychological testing has shown this age sector to be the most vulnerable to "feeding the need" and thereby enhancing shareholder (My stock) value.

My initial reaction was that it had been written by Sir Nigel Hawthorne (Yes Minister), until I remembered he's no longer with us.

I left the mob nearly 30 years ago - brevity and clarity must have followed suit!

I think it just means the buildings will have windows so people can see out.

Damn!! All I was waiting for was overarching or underpinning for me to shout house.

Anyone else hear the report on Monday's Today programme about management speak? Apparently the font of management speak, IIP, has done a survey where they found that 62% of staff think that management speak is a load of rubbish and adds no value. They believe that management should get on with leading and managing and stop the management bolleaux.

I am shocked that the figure is as low as 62%. Now if only the heirachy would listen!!

From what I can figure out, the initial post appears to be about bricklaying.
What a complete load of balls.

WHAT?

Translation: We're moving the chief clerk's desk nearer to the JPA terminal.

I notice that Mike's link appears to show that there's a Haynes Owner's Workshop Manual on Cancer. What next? A special edition of the British Medical Journal on the Ford Mondeo?

Right, another go at getting a table into the thread, if there is a technical way of doing it can you let me know. Simple words please.

Having had some degree of exposure to the yuck speak mob over the years in civilian life, I can only feel sorry for you all, bull , you've never seen the like of, the quicker they're gone the better. Nonetheless, you can have some fun with them as there sense of humour quotient is very low. If you're ever short of the necessary phrase, the one that's just on the tip of the tongue, or you looking to impress the non-productive; have ago with this, it works all the time, just choose one word from each column, in any order and bingo you'll be speaking crap just like the best of them

1...........................2...........................3
strategic..............cost based.............core competancy
interactive............logistical................alliance
responsive............discretionary..........re-engineering
recprocal..............empowering...........values
customer-oriented...visionary..............benchmark
functional..............partnering.............paradigm

The engine is an essential structural and functional element of the motion system in the Mondeo and constitutes the largest piece of metal system in the organism. It contributes to motion homeostasis not only by regulating brake pedal permeability but also by adjusting the calibre of foot vessels to haemodynamic and hormonal demands and by maintaining accelaration fluidity. i.e put your foot on the accelerator to go faster.
Endoleg cells perform these functions by the expression , activation, and release of powerful thought reactions as well as of numerous other bioactive motions.
This complex cascade of events underlies the transition from motion dysfunction to normal moition function that manifests itself by normal endoleg activity, development of a procoagulant endoleg surface, musclular and, finally, toe formation.

WHAT?
Classic drivel from the pen of a rather poor consultant on £400 a day, or someone with aspirations to be one.

What's wrong with:

'Collocation of facilities and people will enhance communications between Commands. This will offer benefits of improved services under clear direction and management, whilst reducing overheads.'

GlosMikeP,
it has been some time since you did ISS! You would loose many marks for analysis with your contribution. How about...

'combining both organisations will improve communication, save costs, provide continuity and standardisation while being supervised properly by a responsible officer.'


.....sorry, lost myself slightly on the last bit!

Any advance on 8 words?
