Future proofing is one of those terms used by business that roughly translates as.“Bend over guys, this is going to hurt you a lot more than it’s gonna hurt me.”
There’s a few more I can think of from my past life, eg. We need to conduct consultation exercises with the workforce to look at efficiency savings or that old favourite: Not only do we need to work harder but we need to work smarter. The long in the tooth folk learned to tremble when they heard that sort of talk, their cosy wee world entering the early stages of feeling decidedly shoogly as a result. The young, the ambitious they got on board, or got with the programme or whatever turns of phrase were considered trendy at the time, but it’s the ones who could play the game that survived.
BUSINESS LEADERS – Giving it ticht to the workers since the Industrial Revolution.
There’s got to be a T-shirt in that slogan.

That sounds like a plan… We cold start up a company making them, but we’d have to wake up and smell the coffee, and work smarter.
Trembling yet?

You’re too far from the market.
Ford make nearly all their engines for cars in Wales, ship them to assembly plants.

The BMW Mini is assembled from parts shipped in from Brazil and Canada.

A guy living in the South of Engerland who receives £Thousands FROM the E.U. in farming subsidies votes FOR Brexit. He now decides to transfer his company’s HQ and tax centre OUT of Engerland and move it to Singapore right? 🤔
Please someone, ANYONE, tell me HE is moving to Singapore with his HQ and will NOT be able to return after Brexit to his beloved Engerland! 😂😂😂😂😂
