Create Value

A term used by businesses in an effort to motivate their employees. The term refers to making the business appear more valuable to potential customers than it really is. Traditional techniques include making lobbies look prettier and more modern, up-selling services, and telling customers what they need (to benefit the business).

Usually relegated to managerspeak (that elusive tongue used by the higher-ups in a company).

Synonyms: Tactical lying, business strategy, corporate plan
Big Boss: "We need to create value for our company."
Manager 1: "We are really creating value for our business by putting these flowers and pictures all over the lobby."
Manager 2: "We certainly are, but I think we need to create more value by installing a chocolate fountain in the boardroom."

Tesco Value Lemmings

The Tesco Value Lemming is the natural evolution of the ordinary lemming, sped up by the effect of nuclear radiation from Tesco's main power source. The Tesco Value Lemming is blue and white, and leaps off doorsteps and low shelves.

Occasionally more daring ones can be bred which will jump off fences, windowsills or use tiny bikes to leap over pits of spikes or flames. They are generally taken as the alpha males of the group, or "shop floor", until the mis-judge a jump and plummet to their death in the frozen foods section.

value add

Term used in service and retail industries, meaning to connect a service or additional product to a product at no immediate cost to the buyer.

This cost is often included (read: hidden) in the base price, but is called out to make the customer feel as though they are getting more than they paid for.
The Local IT shop sells Dell computers at a markup, with the added value of onsite 24/7 service, phone support, and installation.

When you buy a "Set it and forget it," each of the "bonus gifts" you get, the apple slicer, the pairing knife, the butter churner, is a value add.
