I am essentially the highest ranking officer of my family's business (Business Unit Manager, overseeing 333 employees) here in Italy and I have to say that local (Italian) native corporate culture seems to have remained largely unaffected by the creep of such meaningless language into everyday intracompany discourse. It is on the rise in infracompany communication, however.
I have an acute disdain for empty verbiage and what I like to think of as a very critical mode of thinking, so I spend my time nipping these things in the bud and doing what the organisational machinery beneath me cannot, by its very axioms, be relied upon to do: cut down on bureaucracy and eliminate pointless paperwork and/or circular processes whenever I come across them. Not to eliminate people, but to free them up to do what they actually are here to do (and presumably/hopefully enjoy doing). Lots of cogs in the transmission is not something that the company needs or can make use of.
