Time for Bullshit Bingo
I got an agenda this afternoon for a four hour meeting of our Sr. Executive Team with a consultant for Monday afternoon.
This is the agenda - I haven't changed a word:
- Review and finalization of the Vision - Discussion of our current business success model and the requirements to reach our strategic goal - Finalization of our values - Agreement of the Strategic Intents - Formation of the Performance Excellence teams - Process for selecting members - Presentation to the broader Leadership members
For four hours on a Monday. If that isn't the worst case of vague consultant double speak - from the 90's no less - I don't know what is.
How many times over how many years with how many consultants in how many organizations do I have to go through this same exact process over and over again?? Feels like "Groundhog Day", but not in a good way.
