Three "business speak" phrases which should just disappear

I've never spent much time in the corporate world but, looking back on that time, I realise it was enough for these phrases to grate.

• going forward
  Whatever happened to "in future"?  I think that's a perfectly valid phrase.
• add value
  I can't put my finger on why I dislike this one, but I guess it just feels like generic jargon.  If someone has come up with innovative ideas, improved sales, or re-vamped the brand, just say it!
• Do you have the capacity to...?
  People are not buckets to fill with tasks.  Tried and true phrases like "Do you have time to...?" or even "Could you...?" still work.

Please, if you find yourself using these phrases, remember that you can speak like a normal person even if you are in an office.
