Fellow Publicity Insiders, what does this phrase mean?

"We envision a center of excellence where our accelerated change agents can maximize their core competencies."

Huh? - or - "The company is a global leader in pressure-sensitive technology and innovative self-adhesive solutions for consumer products and label materials."

Clue: they make stickers.

Pity the poor reporters who have to dig through this pile of drivel to find a news story. Free help is here. Bullfighter, an aptly-named software program from Deloitte Consulting, works like a spelling checker program to spot questionable words and phrases in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents. Bullfighter can be downloaded at:
