FMA talk

The new Financial Markets Authority has advertised for announced the appointment of three more senior managers.

A reader, who hightlighted the ad announcement to me, comments:

noted the following corporate babble-speak in the space of just 573 words:

  1. “Strategic” – mentioned five times;
  2. “Stakeholder engagement” – aargh!
  3. “Stakeholders” mentioned three times.
  4. “Head of Stakeholder Management”, a position description, no less.
  5. What, pray, is a “strategic leadership team”?
  6. “Stakeholder engagement” seems to be one of the skills of the Head of Stakeholder Management though the difference in is telling.  Which one wins?
  7. I liked someone's “commitment to achieving tangible outcomes that contribute to business success”.  I would have thought that's what people get paid for.
  8. Being “pivotally involved” is another's skill.
  9. And thanks are due to someone else for “strategic secondments”.

 Please spare from this nonsense.

They just needed to scatter “fundamental” in there a few times also.
