[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate this too! I used to be a journalist and never had to deal with this kind of silly corporate-speak. Now I do public information work for a nonprofit and it comes up occasionally. I also hate "tasked" but I'm afraid I'm losing that battle, it's everywhere now. [/quote]

So task is a verb and ask is a noun.  Let's call a meeting to task the ask.[/quote]

But, what's the ask?  I'm just spit balling here, but we need a work around because this isn't in line with our mission statement.  Let's have an all hands meeting in the conference room and we can whiteboard some ideas and work out some best practices.[/quote]

I might as well mention that I have a deliverable and then a desk side meeting with a colleague, but maybe some of us could meet as a breakout group?[/quote]

What about action items? Both of you forgot action items! [/quote]

I recognize that you have some valuable input, so thank you for sharing.  We can whiteboard our action items, unless you'd prefer to talk about this desk side.  Let's interface soon so we can highlight these action items.  It might be difficult to do a work around, but let's see how things shake out.  Let's regroup before COB and revisit the ask.[/quote]
