The set of talents, skills, capabilities, and areas of expertise possessed by someone, and generally referred to in the context of being able to be compensated for same... although not always.
As in...
Harry: Bob, I can't believe I got passed up for a promotion this performance round!
Bob: That's too bad. Why do you think that happened?
Harry: They said something about, folding paper airplanes, spell checking MS Word documents, commenting on the quality of each mornings coffee batch, and talking about sports all day not being a promotable skill set... but I wasn't listening at that point anyway because I was already so mad they weren't going to promote me!

A term created by marketers/researchers/morons to describe the collective insights gained from a particular campaign or experiment. It's not recognized as a real word but seems to be making some serious rounds throughout the business world.
As in...
James: So in conclusion, after 90 days we have managed to acquire enough learnings to drive the cost to land one customer down almost 34%, sir.
Richard (Dick): Amazing work, Jimbo. How else can we leverage said learnings to create a value-add for the R&D group in El Paso?

To make others, some of which that are higher up on the ladder than the current group, aware of a situation or issue.
As in...
Walter, the client just called and she seemed very PO'd that the whole accounting department was at lunch at the same time. When Phillip gets back I'm going to run it up the flagpole and see what we can do about resolving this going forward. I swear, I just can't take another bitchy call today. I'm going to freak out.
