Lol, why is that? Just heard it too much?

It’s just a tired old way for vendors to try and find their “in”. I’d rather someone just be straightforward and ask me about the projects we are working on and any challenges where outside help could be beneficial.

Most people use these words without knowing exactly their meaning.CISO in Software, 501 - 1,000 employees
I clicked big data, but the other one I was considering was DT. And I see they are both getting the most votes. Sometimes the word 'Cyber Security' instead of 'InfoSec' makes me cringe as well. But then I get over it as 'Cyber' is everywhere now!

I checked DT. Ironically I use it frequently myself, applied in a specific context. But I totally appreciate how the term gets thrown around without any context, because it sounds like innovation and best practices (another overused term).

Every single one of these terms makes my head explode. Every one of them is meaningless.Director of Technology Strategy in Services (non-Government), 2 - 10 employees
It took a while, but I finally settled on remote working. Digital Transformation is definitely overused (and incorrectly used), but remote working is sorely misunderstood.
Remote working is not the same as working from home.

Digital Transformation annoys me. It's what we as IT leaders have done (or at least want to do) for most of our lives, except that this time around we have a nice buzzword to help us sell what needs to be done. I guess there is that.

How about "These uncertain times"?
I call it the next normal...not new normal. We will go through a number of progressive changes over time as we try to figure out how best to work.
