BHAG

Bee-hag. Best pronounced with a southern drawl.

Big Hairy Audacious Goal

Go ahead, look it up. Google or Wikipedia will do fine.

It’s not actually the acronym of this day, but it was used in a recent meeting, and struck me at the time. I most likely rolled my eyes. There was a time when I’d get more worked up, but after 21 years, I just roll my eyes. And get back to work.

I will say, though, that in theory, it’s a good thing. I’m all for efficiency, progress, doing the impossible and striving for perfection.  I could just do without the abundance of acronyms and buzz words.
