It’s that time again—Words to Avoid, 2023. Although this year, perhaps more than others, we should maybe call it “Words to Avoid …and some other words to pause before using, do additional research, and then decide whether or not to use.” No? Not as catchy? Okay, we’ll stick with what we have. As always, this is not meant to be a definitive (or complete) list of dos and don’ts.

Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty.
