Going forward

Voguish throat clearing expression which means from now on.
When you adopt the future tense, it’s a fair assumption — Time’s arrow doing its miserable thing and reminding us there’s but one way out of here — you are thinking of those points in time which haven’t happened yet, to the exclusion of all those which have.
“From now on, I will be eating bananas” implies you haven’t been doing so until now. “Going forward...” suggests you are the author of a flash of inspiration, by which you have wrought beneficent change on your organisation.
