Indeed.

Although there's the usual clue-deprived "And the name they've come up
with is a piece of consultancy speak - Bearing Point. We synergistically
leverage your competencies to maximise your bearing point throughput"

I don't know any consultant who talks - or writes - like that, and I've
worked with consultants from many firms, not just the one I work for
(actually, part of my current role is call centre scripting for a
client, and that's the kind of language I'm red-lining out of their
draft...)

Cheers
Martin
