Buzzwords that make boardrooms spin and PowerPoints sing.
The improvement or increase in performance metrics, usually expressed as a percentage that makes mediocre results sound impressive. A 2% uplift sounds better than 'slightly less terrible.'
The foundational support structure, literally in construction or figuratively in arguments and business strategy. In corporate speak, it's the pretentious way to say "basis" when you want to sound more important. Every consultant's favorite word for describing whatever holds up their overpriced recommendations.
The strategic business practice of taking one product and breaking it into multiple pieces that can be sold separately at higher total cost. It's the corporate equivalent of selling a car without the wheels, then charging extra for each tire. Airlines perfected this art form, and now everyone from software companies to cable providers wants in on the action.
