What's the difference between 'backcasting' and 'backfilling' and could it ever matter? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe language of business and work grows ever more depleted, barren and senseless. Politicians hide in thickets of endless repeated messages, platitudes and cliches, or behind such shameless Newspeak as 'operational matters'. The thing is viral: leaping from corporate windows of opportunity, it has taken hold in universities and schools, the public service, hospitals, local councils, fire brigades, the weather bureau.

With his trademark management-jargon mockery, he will make you cringe and laugh and possibly die of shame.  But above all he will ask you to resist: to fight in the fields and in the streets - and in the offices and on the internet - and never surrender.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48150328541342,"sku":"UBD-9780857983442","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780857983442.jpg?v=1786964251","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780857983442","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
