BUSINESS IDIOMS (BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD): meaning and examples

Hello everyone! To those of you who had a long weekend, I hope you enjoyed it. Happy Monday to you all. 

This week we are looking at Idioms Used in Business. We begin with the expression BACK TO/AT THE DRAWING BOARD

Definition: a new plan is needed because the old plan or proposal was unsuccessful. 

Example 1: The CEO rejected our proposal so... it's back to the drawing board for us. 

Example 2: We didn't get the permit we need for construction. Now we are back at the drawing board

This is a frustrating situation to be in, but I think we have all experienced this before.

Hopefully today is productive day and you don't have an opportunity to use this expression. ;-)

That concludes our first lesson of the week. Thank you for reading!

We will see you tomorrow for another Daily Vitamin lesson on Business Idioms.
