going forward

A completely unnecessary and meaningless corporate buzz phrase that somehow gets shoehorned into every memo, press release or public statement. It can always be eliminated from the text without any effect at all upon the intended meaning.



going forward
Going forward is purported to mean, "In the future" or "somewhere down the road" when in fact it is an attempt to dodge the use of these words, which generally indicate "I don't know". A newer development in corporate doublespeak, in most companies it is grounds for dismissal to release a press release without mentioning something 'going forward'. Going forward, you will likely see this turning up everywhere.
Example:
Our company expects to make a profit going forward.
We don't expect any layoffs going forward.


going forward
Prep politician talk for "uh..." or "ummm...". See "umm"
Example:
Prep: "Going forward we will make money"

Stoner: "Umm, we will make money"

Old school: "We will make money"


going forward
Verbal counterpart of iconic hand-gesture popularized by ruthless vegetarian dictator similarly dedicated to the concealment of freedom-of-conscience and individual weakness with the procreation of transparently robotic, corporate memes.
Example:
"Thinking for myself is something I will definitely have to look into in the fut...err, going forward."


Going Forward
A phrase that business people use to mean someone completely fucked up big time BUT we don't want to dwell on who's fault it was instead can we all just adopt an optimistic outlook and please can we all start thinking about the future not the shithole of a present that we're in.

See also: Moving forward
Example:
CEO to company meeting: We have just had 3 major projects cancelled by our main customer sadly....

(stunned silence)

...but going forward, there are a lot of great opportunities out there.
