If I hear any of these busines-BS words again, I'll have to come up with number 11 which is practice kung fu on faux business types:
leverage
low hanging fruit (honestly)
standard deviation
six sigma
Business process improvement
outliers
scaling
"spans and layers" (ie who to lay off?), 

Hair of the dog, people!

Both molecular biology and bioinformatic have the phrase, used when talking about presentations of highly technical work for non-specialists, "the for-morons-and-MBAs version".  The more I see of the kind of stuff you talk about, the more sympathy that description has from me.
