I was recently the recipient of a speech from one of the exalted from on high. During the 50 minutes we were held in thrall the only thing I gathered was that we are, “moving forward”. Apparently that phrase is used by management in lieu of a period at the end of a sentence.

As an example, take my paragraph above and append “moving forward” to every verb-noun combination, comma, and period to translate to management-speak.
