New Office Lingo

Here are some great new terms being used in the uk at the moment.

A list of new office jargon:

• The two CC's (credit crunch and current climate)

• Clocking real mileage (a really strong idea)

• A high altitude view (taking a step back)

• Reaching the blue ocean of success (reaching a goal)

• Get a helicopter view by turning 360° and then circling back to your colleagues (taking a step back)

• Let's run that idea up the flag pole and see if it flies (try out an idea)

• Picking the low-lying fruit (a quick win)

• Down to that level of granularity (detail)

• Let's touch base about that offline (have a chat face-to-face)

• Feeling stressurised (under pressure and stress)

• Strategic staircase (a plan for the future)

• Better not let the grass grow too long on this one (act quickly).
