1fast1 Supersonic May 8, 2015 Share May 8, 2015 (edited) Synergise Leverage on Win-win Business analytics/Dashboard analytics Deliverables --- Yup those are the ones that irk me most. And while "analytics" can actually be defined in context, most of the people asking for it have no clue what they really want.

Kklim Supercharged May 8, 2015 Share May 8, 2015 Lim Swee Say's attempted murder of the English language: “If you’re the best today, strive to be better. If you’re better today, strive to be ‘betterer’ and if you’re ‘betterer’ today, strive to be ‘betterest’ so that over time, Singapore’s service standards can just keep getting better, ‘betterer’ and ‘betterest’.” ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
