The Most Important Buzzwords for Business

With close to 2 billion people speaking English with various degrees of competency it is not surprising that new words are entering the language at an incredible rate. What’s more, words go in and out of fashion equally quickly. Luckily, there are a lot of people out there who are following and documenting trends.

In research carried out by the website Languagemonitor.com, the top 50 buzzwords for business were identified. These words also show what businesses have been pre-occupied with during 2015, as the rankings are based on actual usage of words.

The first word on the list is “Content”, which makes sense as many companies struggle to feed the hungry beast that is “Social Media” (also high on the list).

“Big Data” describes the masses of information that we have to make sense of at work and worry about in “The Cloud”. To “Repurpose” means finding a new use for an old solution.

To ensure that your business is “Future proof”, you need “Robust” and “Sustainable” solutions which integrate “Seamlessly” and provide “Synergies” and “Add Value”.

The vocabulary suggests that being successful is “Not Rocket Science”. Just be “Pro-active” and develop a product or service which “Resonates” with your target market, is easy to “Utilize” (rather than use) and “Transparent” for the customer. And don’t forget to collect the “Low-hanging Fruit”!

At Perfect Word Language Services, we are aware that localizing your business around the world requires that you speak the language that your customers can relate to. And address the issues that are currently on the business agenda.


Engaged, Enabled and Energized to Speak English?

In recent weeks, I’ve come across this mantra on several blogs - everything from sports motivation to HR development experts are coming round to the idea that developing competencies does not simply mean giving staff the tools and technical training. What does this mean for language training at your organization?

Previously commitment, skills and motivation had been considered individual components in determining the successful outcome of a worker’s activities. A more modern idea is to consider them inseparable, interacting aspects of competency. In other words, engagement and motivation are essential features of competency. This makes intuitive sense. Without a reasonable level of engagement, any level of skill is relatively useless or even potentially damaging to an organization or team.

Poor English Skills of Top Managers Hinder Cross-Border Deals

“Effective cross-border communication and collaboration are becoming critical to the financial success of companies with international aspirations.”

An Economist survey shows that almost 90% of companies believe that “if cross-border communication were to improve at their company, then profit, revenue and market share would all improve as well” and around one half of the executives surveyed admitted that ineffective communication is resulting in financial loss. Language and culture are acknowledged to be the major barriers in this regard, but top managers and directors are usually too busy to attend a weekly language lesson.

Managers with leadership responsibility have specific work tasks and learning needs, which mean that a very special kind of language training and support is required. As the sessions focus on real work tasks and preparing for meetings or presentations, the lesson differs greatly from traditional group classes and becomes a highly personalized and individual session.

Germans falling behind in the race to improve English skills

Germany has fallen behind Poland and several other neighbours in the race to improve English skills essential for securing cross-border trade. EF’s annual study shows that Germans have superior English skills to Asians or Africans, but this is hardly surprising as natives of those countries speak languages that are almost totally unrelated to English.

But the EF English Proficiency Index also shows that Austria ranks three places higher than Germany in what should be a fair competition. The Scandinavians and Dutch predictably have the highest levels of English, but who would have expected the Polish to achieve sixth place. 

For Germans such results are highly significant. As an exporting country, ability in English is key for winning contracts and caring for customers abroad.
