Deliver the value of this post
One phrase I have trouble with is "deliver the value". It's everywhere these days: business plans, marketing copy, press releases. For instance, the document I'm working on now says, "The New Item Form team will deliver the value of data synchronization to retailers and manufacturers by".
This wording, I guess, makes a positive statement without being specific. It says, "The New Item Form team will use data synchronization to help retailers and manufacturers (vague value-delivering action)."
Any thoughts?
