Customer journey, ideation, put a pin in it… What are they all talking about? If you are working with global teams and in the tech industry, you’ve likely heard these words many times.
These words and phrases are known as buzzwords.
Buzzwords usually come from technical terms but their meanings might slightly change as they become mainstream and more widely used.
Buzzwords can leave us feeling confused. They are so popular we might start using them without understanding their exact meaning. We hear them so often we might be afraid to question their meaning.
In today’s episode I am sharing some of the most common buzzwords and their meanings. This is not a list for you to memorise and use randomly but shares a definition and explanation around using them and why many of these words can be loved and hated.
