Do you keep falling asleep in board room meetings and
department conferences?
What about those long and boring conference calls?
Here's a way to change all of that:
Bullshit Bingo*
1. Before (or during) your next board room meeting,
or conference, prepare your "Bullshit Bingo" card
by drawing a square-I find that 5" x 5" is a good
size-and dividing it into columns-five across and
five down. That will give you 25 1-inch blocks.
2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
- synergy
- strategic fit
- core competencies
- out of the box
- bottom line
- revisit
- take that off-line
- 24/7
- out of the loop
- benchmark
- value-added
- proactive
- win-win
- think outside the box
- fast track
- result-driven
- empower (or empowerment)
- knowledge base
- at the end of the day
- touch base
- mindset
- client focus(ed)
- ballpark
- game plan
- leverage
- lose electronic control
- required deliverables
- salami science
- cutting edge science (design, medicine, etc)
- e-medicine (e-design, etc)
- face time
3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one
of those words/phrases.
4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically,
or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"
