Corporate Jargon Bingo!

Today, the New York office hosted the nationwide semi-annual video conference, an event which no one finds exciting, memorable, or worthy of a lunchtime discussion. Until today. Today was the first Corporate Jargon Bingo event, and I came in second.

Here are the rules:
1. Cards are created in Excel using words or phrases commonly used within your organization.
2. Cards are passed out to players before the beginning of a particularly boring meeting.
3. Players place the cards underneath one sheet of notebook paper, so the cards are disguised but still readable.
4. Players mark their cards quietly and furtively during the meeting.
5. When a player achieves BINGO, the player records the time when the last word was mentioned and the player completed a row.
6. The players compare their times after the meeting and prizes are awarded.
Note: All prizes should be of little or no cost to the players and should preferably come from the supply closet.

My card:
(I've blurred some names on the grounds these names would incriminate me and prevent future BINGO events from occurring.)
