I am learning
that Turning Point is a unique organisation, but not alone in using jargon,
acronyms and abbreviations in documents and meetings. I wrote eight years ago about the ‘Upgoer
Five’; and made a commitment to be more clear in my communications, reducing
the use of jargon.
I made a pledge
to call out poor use of language, abbreviation or anything that wouldn’t be
clear to the intended audience. I think
I’ve been pretty good at doing this since then, and my Board colleagues at TP
are as determined as I am to reduce the use of jargon too.
