If you spend enough time around people who talk like this, you pick it up whether you like it or not. When I first started my current job, I promised myself I would never start a sentence with a phrase like "From a QA perspective, it would be better if..." rather than simply saying "The QA group would prefer...", but now I find myself saying things like "From an efficiency perspective, we should phone in our order before we leave to pick up the pizza." Drives me crazy sometimes.
