“Efficient and effective” … big, big corporate words these days. Funny isn’t it that every time a downturn comes, management consultants make big bucks by calling the same thing by a different name.
Remember the last few economic downturns? Among the terms used were:
- downsizing
- rightsizing
- restructuring
- reorganisation
It just basically means the same thing. A few heads will roll and usually the soldiers get axed; then the generals.
Hmmm … wonder what is in store for us next year. Rumblings on getting companies more efficient and effective are already circulating in the papers these days. Is that a portend of unemployment?
Maybe I should think of a career move into management consultancy! :P
