I choose to believe this is some sort of shibboleth
like throwing the most inane business speak at each other somehow confirms that they are a real business person and not some guy in a suit that would never think to say something so vapid and devoid of actual meaning
It’s as if being able to say dumb shit like this without feeling self-conscious demonstrates that your thinking has a sort of ethical ambiguity about it that means you’ll go along with whatever to make the shareholders and your fellow c-suite drones more money. It also seems like it could be sort of a personal thought-terminating cliche, as in, “I’m not going to think too hard about the effects of the next round of layoffs, because a more efficient company will make more progress, and progress is moving forward.”
