ManagementSpeak: We need a Moneyball approach to our business portfolio.

Translation: Let’s build some pretty and incomprehensible displays, then say we’re taking a data-driven, Moneyball approach to managing our portfolio. But don’t worry. We’ll actually be performing portfolio theater and making decisions the same way we always have.

This week’s contributor has a serious need for anonymity. We will, of course, oblige.
