Thought Experiment

We interrupt this program with an urgent announcement.  Those with young children may wish to send them from the room as the following message may be unsuitable for their ears.

.....

Last night at  approximately 7:24 p.m. Greenwich-Maine time a routine thought experiment went disastrously wrong.  Our sources claim that minutes before the incident a Focus Group became wildly unfocused as Linda from marketing unveiled a PowerPoint vastly out of her Bandwidth.  One by one, members of the Focus Group began thinking Outside The Box, resulting in a wide breach in the Think Tank and a severe venting of Raw Thought and Spitballing that led to a temperature spike in the Core Competency, essentially Boiling the Ocean.

First responders immediately began Rightsizing the situation but soon acknowledged their Plate Was Full.  Our people Pinged the governor's office but received only Pushback.

By sunrise this morning Change-Agent Chad Chalmers was interviewed, claiming to have been Up All Night Putting Out Fires when he witnessed, Granularly, a massive Brain-Drain he believed was Mission Critical in Managing Expectation.  As a result, crews were able to Move the Needle and Push the Envelope.  Soon after, Change-Agent Chad went Radio Silent.  Sources close to him say he was Down the Rabbit Hole in an attempt to Administer Core Values and hopefully Raise the Bar.  There is no way of knowing if it is a One Way Ticket.  Even if success is Deliverable and Chad Changes the Game, we simply do not know if he can Circle Back.  Certainly he will be Off the Reservation, Operating in the Dark and will likely need to Be the Change He Wants to See in The World.  More on this situation after we Touch Base.

.....

This just in.  The governor's office has just pinged us back.  The following is an official statement from the governor.  

"It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that Change-Agent Chad has Dropped the Ball.  Dropped it like a Lead Balloon.  He's been Running in Circles, Chasing His Tail and Banging His Head Against the Wall.  I now fear this is a Zero Sum Game.  All we can do in Check for a Pulse and Let the Chips Fall Where They May."

.....

That is all we have on last night's failed Thought Experiment.  We will Get Back to You as we Read the Tea-leaves.  We now return you to the dramatic reading of the audio-book "Business-Speak For Dummies", already in progress.

Very interesting read and very different. I like the many suitable phrases you use which tickles the ears and clears the frowns. I think you are unique in your approaches to subject matter which is wonderful.

Thanks for the review! I did a lot of scanning power-point speak sites. It was fun.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. You are welcome.

This makes me wish I was your office mate. So many of these cliches I knew, but some I did not.
Boiling the Ocean.
Moving the needle.
I recently told someone to Be the Change.
I will start composing my apology.
