"Moving forward" can be code for "Shut the hell up, we decided that already." It can also be code for "I'm sick of explaining this to you, you motherfucking idiot."
It's definitely a part of the execu-speak lexicon, if not as popular as the other inanities described previously. The phrase is also definitely a leading indicator of severe brain damage in the person who utters it.
Annie, we need to engage with this proposal before it's finalized. After we've vetted this on a need-to-know basis and everyone has weighed in, we can make a determination of whether there's synergy or a disconnect. Then, we can begin moving forward to actualize the process and generate the initial deliverables. I'll send you a matrix for the workplan.

My magazines recently banned the following phrases (in addition to "at the end of the day," which we maimed with a pitchfork):
- Instantaneously: A cumbersome, hypersyllabic way to say "instantly" or "immediately."
- Robust: What's the difference between a "solution" and a "robust solution?" Two syllables.
- Best of breed: I'd either say "best" only or nothing at all.

I like it when it means these things.
also its variant "going forward." we have no choice but.
see also:

"impactful" as adjective

laterite: who says 'putting the moose on the table?' depending, they should almost certainly stop it.

Kill me now.
And yet all of these heinous words/phrases are much better than "whatevs."
That should read more tolerable.
