In the accessibility piece, yet again the fatuity of “roadmap” as a plan for achieving something. A road map shows every possible way of travelling between points, only a few would be deemed practicable, and for a particular journey only one route of connected links will be taken. The buzzword usage means a list/scheme/diagram of all steps necessary to achieve something, with sequencing where necessary and simultaneous working elsewhere – the longstanding technique of (among other names) network analysis. The difference between “only one” and “all” is lost on the users of the silly word, which when I come across it devalues the whole piece in the same way as the mindless references to such as stakeholders and sustainable does.
