    • Mr O: Is there a remedy?
    • GP: There is, and it is simpler than you may think (GP starts scrawling on his prescription pad and hands it to Mr O)
    • Mr O: (Reading the pad) A dose of plain English every day for six weeks?
    • GP: Yes, if you write or say something that an 8 or 9 year old wouldn’t understand – then don’t say it or write it.

    Change Management and Smooth Transitions
    For many corporations change management is a time of controversy and chaos and yet it need not be. Is all change management like this?

    Mr C Onfusion, the owner of Oh No Ltd sits waiting to be called forward in the surgery waiting room.

    • Receptionist: Mr Onfusion, The Business GP will see you now.
    • Mr O: Thank you.

    Mr O makes his way down to the door of his Business GP. ‘Come in’ says a friendly voice in response to his assertive knock.

    • GP: Good morning Clive, how may I help you?
    • Mr O: Well I….er…..um…it is a little embarrassing.
    • GP: Clive (smiling and leaning forward), you are amongst friends, please feel free to express yourself.
    • Mr O: I know that (looking worried), but nobody seems to understand me.
    • GP: (Leaning forward) Please carry on.
    • Mr O: Let me explain. The other day….
    • GP: (Nods)
    • Mr O: …….I was sat with my operations team. I asked them to submit a report to me explaining why the ERP system was not demonstrating the ROI we needed. Why the e-CRM component was not showing an increased rate of acquisition and retention, and growing our AWOP, ARP and GP.
    • GP: And what happened?
    • Mr O: Well they all looked at me blankly.
    • GP: I wonder why? (Looking blankly still)
    • Mr O: What do you mean?
    • GP: Well I am not sure if the problem is the ECG, BP, BCG, TB or even the HDTV.
    • Mr O: (Sits back, looks, and pauses for a moment) Pardon?
    • GP: Well at least I know the problem.
    • Mr O: You do – what is it?
    • GP: You have an acute case of ‘jargonitus’ it hits many senior managers in many businesses.
    • Mr O: Is it serious?
    • GP: It can be but I can help.

    The GP takes out his notepad and starts writing. Taking a few seconds to carefully craft something. Mr O tries to see what is being written but it is too well shielded, so he waits patiently.

    After a minute the GP presents him with a piece of paper.

    ARP+ROI+ERP+AWOP+GP = Jargonitus

    • Mr O: (Looking puzzled) Jargonitus???
    • GP: Yes a disease of the business executive. The ability to stop talking in plain English to those around you.

    Storytelling: The Key to Personal and Professional Advancement
