I'm too clever/stupid enough to understand that.
WTF does it mean? In plain English

"We need to think about what we'll be able to do in future. We will have to be flexible and creative as we may not have all the resources we would like."
To me, it means whoever is speaking no longer has the resources to achieve a guaranteed result for any new venture, and he's warning the bosses that they're going to have to put up with the fact that the next venture (whatever it might be), is very probably going to have far less chance of a successful outcome than before, may even end up being a total shitcart, with them looking like a bunch of prize prats.
Signs of the times.
Ah, so yep the first is Bullhonky of the highest order.
I'm still not sure even with your explanation.
Maybe I should become a manager??

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Having listened to exactly this kind of twaddle for many years, one either switches off, learns to translate it, or simply asks the person spouting the rubbish to put things in plain English. Which I must confess I've taken to doing more often these days.
I usually do it by saying "I understand where you're coming from Mr. (insert name of dickhead here), but perhaps you could put it in more simpler terms as there may be some around the table that are not quite as familiar with the subject as you are." This usually draws a few stifled guffaws or the odd cough. Yes, it may be a puerile pastime, but I'm a great believer in plain speaking. My immediate boss and I sometimes play at trying to insert odd phrases or nouns into meetings. Last time, he beat me hands down when I bet him he'd never be able to get the word "Snickers" into a discussion about trade figures.
To my mind that translates as "we have to accept that we're clueless as to what we should be doing in new situations".
Sounds pretty governmental to me
Dafuzz is closer than Mike_L thus far. Guesswise, I mean, not as a potential partner for the helicopter position.

The issue is people forget to add the emotional weight to what they're saying - it can indicate they don't take ownership of the problem - but it makes what they've said instantly forgettable.
