Not necessarily.  The main difference between business speak and Poser speak is, there are perfectly good, straightforward words and phrases in the language to describe the things business types speak about, without resorting to jargon.

It's not necessary to say, for example, "ramping up" when all you mean is "increasing". And since when did financial services become "products"?  It's part of a general trend to make things sound more important and/or impressive than they really are. 

Poser, however, often uses neologisms or redefines words to describe things which have no real life counterpart.  Same with computer speak in general.  Many of the actions and concepts didn't even exist before computers came into being.

It's when people like Bill Gates start misusing words like "bandwidth" to describe intelligence that I want to get a gun. 

Coppula eam se non posit acceptera jocularum.
