Lost in Translation:
Business Acronyms and the Cost of Assumptions
On-Demand
Acronyms are everywhere in business — finance, HR, product, operations, and strategy. They are meant to create efficiency. Instead, they often create assumptions and misunderstanding.
If you have ever left a meeting feeling aligned, only to discover later that everyone heard something different, you have experienced the hidden cost of acronym-driven communication.
This interactive session is designed for leaders responsible for execution, results, and cross-functional alignment. We’ll explore how acronym-heavy language quietly undermines decision-making, slows execution, and increases organizational risk when shared understanding is assumed rather than confirmed.
The session is led by Kathy Eastwood, Founder and CEO of E Equals Why, alongside Jeff Glick , Head of US Operations at OCFO, who brings a practical CFO lens from years of advising leadership teams across industries.
Together, they will share real-world examples of where language created confusion, highlight which acronyms actually matter at the leadership level, and guide participants through practical ways to replace assumptions with clarity.
This is not about memorizing definitions.
It is about leadership — speaking in a way others understand, asking better questions, and creating alignment people can act on.
