Ridiculous Business Jargon You Need To Stop Using
Business jargon. Does anyone like it? Well, some people must do, or it wouldn’t exist. But there are some phrases used in business that make your skin crawl and signposts the users as lightweights.

If you mean “be creative, oruginal, and try to avoid doingwhat everyone else is already doing” why don’t you just say that?
