"Proactive." "Synergy." "Paradigm." Bingo! There's an underground game undermining business and productivity in offices and boardrooms across America: Buzzword Bingo. How do you play? Make a bingo card, but instead of numbers use "corporate-speak," those vague, euphemistic words like the suit at the head of the table is spouting--"80:20," "incent," "empower." When one is spoken, mark it off; when you have five in a row, clear your throat and let others know you've won. Born in the Silicon Valley, the Buzzword Bingo phenomenon has spread globally. Graduating MIT seniors played it during Al Gore's commencement address. British Labour delegates play it while listening to Prime Minister Tony Blair. Now this sneaky little pastime goes public in this snarky how-to humor book. The Buzzword Bingo Book is a complete guide to the game, providing an overview of strategies and rules, an explanation of why managers insist on using buzzwords ("It's like sniffing glue--they just can't help themselves"), nearly 500 definitions of buzzy terms (such as "404," "Siliwood," and "fungible"), and 50 ready-to-use bingo cards, to be copied or torn out on the spot. The Buzzword Bingo Book will help you leverage your content to make this game an action item for your next meeting. Visit the website at www.buzzwordbingo.com

Marc Andreesen once said that "markets that don't exist don't care how smart you are." Whether you're a startup founder trying to disrupt an industry, or an intrapreneur trying to provoke change from within, your biggest risk is building something nobody wants. Lean Analytics can help. By measuring and analyzing as you grow, you can validate whether a problem is real, find the right customers, and decide what to build, how to monetize it, and how to spread the word. Focusing on the One Metric That Matters to your business right now gives you the focus you need to move ahead--and the discipline to know when to change course. Written by Alistair Croll (Coradiant, CloudOps, Startupfest) and Ben Yoskovitz (Year One Labs, GoInstant), the book lays out practical, proven steps to take your startup from initial idea to product/market fit and beyond. Packed with over 30 case studies, and based on a year of interviews with over a hundred founders and investors, the book is an invaluable, practical guide for Lean Startup practitioners everywhere.
