What do we have to raise to the next level? what is the next level? and why do we have to raise “it” to this level?

It’s the ‘delegate upwards’ rule in many organisations, bob.

If the management at the present level can’t, or won’t, make the decision, they’ll pass the buck up to the next manager and, therefore, cover their own tail if the thing goes belly-up.

I don’t raise it to the next level.

I escalate the issue and expedite the timeline to ensure mutually beneficial outcomes.

“Turn it up full bore” used to be a common Tassie country expression, meaning to turn a device up to its highest setting or volume etc.

The context of “it” would have been established in the previous dialogue. “It” would be whatever was the subject you were already talking about.

one could really scare liberal party members by yelling out “next level innovation in, science and technology development

and see them fall over themselves as they try to run away from the realization of development and innovation that next level technology can bring

it really scares them, they had no idea what the PSTN network would develop into and they have no idea how the the NBN network will develop over the next 50 years

imagination and technology really scares them

Yes, I have to write and talk using buzzwords. It’s unfortunately part of my job. Being a good government employee, I should have said “facilitate”, not “ensure”.

The real problem occurs when the perfectly harmless albeit poor English “Take it up a notch” is rejected by your line manager who suggests a slightly more verbose sentence. The next person ads their bit and the whole thing goes around the circle with track changes turned on for each alteration. Emails discussing the proper wording then follow. Snarky conversations in the filing room and the sensitive one has a cry in the lunch room and takes three days off work after their bit was entirely removed/rewritten.

I have seen a sign with only 10 words on it take two weeks to finalise the text.

In one of Woodwards books, Bush at War I think it was, that detailed high level discussions that went on interminably with various players arguing about and defining what degraded and defeated and other terms etc meant.

The public service loves the chain of authority, you get in trouble if you bypass your line manager and go above their head if you have an issue, usually its because they are a useless —— and won’t do anything about your concerns.
