[This one I do know ’cause I’m from Barça]
So, here’s the July edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews, a mixed bag and a shortie due to Summer:
| WIRED | TIRED | EXPIRED |
| Developing IoT methodology, step by step | Hyping IoT and wearables, not knowing the difference | Hyping Big Data |
| As here. | Just track this, this and this page. | Do I really need to explain this ..? |
| Security breaches are normal | APTs | Privacy |
| We’re getting used to massive data leakage; don’t care too much anymore. Outrage ..? Not so much. Just mass abandonment. | ’cause they’re so hard to tackle, people lose interest. But still they’re out there. In with you. | Yeah, yeah. New EU regulations will mean massive changes. But only after they will arrive. Someday. |
| SBR/XBRL (still) incl Continuous (extremely (ad hoc) sliced and/or granualar) Assurance |
Services diversification | Quarterly EBITDA |
| Finally, finally it begins to dawn; the breakthrough of ideas re this, as prof. Verkruijsse already knew. | Will lead to fuzzy positioning, same price pitch, bland results. | Really? Who would still be interested …? The geriatric demographic will no longer be interest(ed). |
| Business canvases (rapidly changing) | No business plans, just an idea to pitch to VCs | Business cases |
| Since the world changes so fast, and you should know where you come from and where you’re (thinking you’re) going even if the picture isn’t crystal clear and constantly changing. | The odd side out; too vague, will not be acceptable. | Show me one that isn’t a great big lie. |
| Suits | Good Wife | Matlock (reruns) |
| Witty, yet showing vulnerabilities and for once, somewhat subtle pointers to actual slightly vulnerable personalities. | Has gone into repeat mode. | Just stale, man. |
| Locally produced | Superfoods | Wheat grass |
| Nearshoring of your food supply; keeping the logistics to a minimum, and close to your environment. | You did not miss the bombardment of debunking scientific articles on these, did you? | Goes in with Birkenstocks (see below) |
| Vinho Verde | Grüner Veltliner / Prosecco | Rosé |
| Ah, how refreshing for the season! | Brosecco, both. Austria tried but, see, it’s not (only) about the grape, it’s much much more also about Quality. | Which always, always, ends up being way too sweet when ‘unfreezing’ to doable temperatures. |
| Havaianas / Juichpak (tie) | Regular flipflops | Birkenstocks |
| W now, but will be forgotten next month… | Dork-style. Or top right of: |
Don’t forget the goat hair socks… |
OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?
