Everychanging Business Jargon

Like everyone, I try to keep on top of the latest buzzwords - if only so that I have some clue what some people are saying.

Lucy Kellaway at the Financial Times has just given out her annual awards for meaningless business phrases - here. I will now go away and try to avoid using any of them in my next report.

Chemical Industry Training courses

We are pleased to announce that we will be running 2 open training courses in March 2009 in conjunction with Robert Milner Associates. The courses will be held at Runcorn Heath, and the dates are being finalised.

Rob's will cover his expertise in Market Research and Analysis.

I will be running an event on Purchasing and Supply Chain Management in the Chemical Industry. What I am not sure about at the moment is the precise title. I am torn between doing a standard event, and tailoring an event to meet the needs of the Industry in the current downturn. If you have any views, I would be delighted to hear them.

Further details to follow.
