Woof!
[translation : why not use "inculcate"? It is a valid and specific word, usually beyond the vocabulary of 'management-speak'ers, which derives it's communion from cliche and word-mangling. Forsooth, 'inculcate' should be banned from such mealy mouths as being too useful a word to allow it to become mangled and incorporationed in Brent-speak.)
