Competition Round Eight:Dinner Party

[maggiethecat]

You are trapped in a stifling conference room, operating room, or cab of a sixteen wheeler...and you are planning your next dinner party with your professional colleagues. You have unlimited Diet Coke, fresh fruit platter, bagels and cream cheese ...and a deadline: Dinner Party on July 28th. Gimme the jargon, please.

This example comes from our own indefatigable Monica Bhide . Anyone who has ever sat through an HR meeting can feel her pain:

"As you begin planning the menu for your next big event, keep the following golden rules in mind

-- Conduct a SWOT of the local cuisine, what do people like, what do they hate

-- Gather your guests for a mind blowing facilitated session of -- What would you like to eat today?

-- Gather all your information from the faciltated session -- use it to create menu handouts, and a workplan on how to proceed with the cooking process

-- If your dinner is a success, call egullet and post your post dinner assessments online

-- IF your dinner is a failure, consider an RIF."

Please lay on the professional jargon with a trowel, tort, or Gantt Diagram. STAT.

And, please:

Post them here!
