A simple expression can carry technical meaning
A short expression can make technical expertise accessible when its meaning comes from how the business works. For Dassault Systèmes, "IF WE" distilled collaboration and shared possibility into a repeatable verbal structure. "If" introduced conditional possibility; "we" introduced collective action. The pairing reflected the company's ability to help people imagine and design future scenarios together, giving complex ideas an accessible framework beyond functional messaging. For Teledyne e2v, "Making waves" moved the language away from technical terminology while retaining a connection to the company's work with microwaves. The practical principle is to simplify the expression, not sever its connection to the capability: a concise phrase should carry a relevant idea about the technology or how people use it.
