Bad Business Cliches
You’ve heard my rant on so-called disruptive technology, but that’s not the last of bad business cliches and buzz words to wow venture capitalists. Smithsonian Magazine writes: “Business people have a lot to learn from the animal world. But there are at least two problems here: one is that they trot out the same tired analogies over and over. Their companies spend millions developing iconic logos and otherwise polishing the corporate image, and then they go around prattling about lions, foxes and sharks.”

Paradigm shifts
Leveraging core competencies
Thinking outside the box
