>As per my prediction, this outcome does not come as a surprise.
Whew ... that sounds quite arrogant and egoistical.
I'd probably just say "you see, I told you so" with a very friendly attitude, almost as a joke, followed by "but it's fine, let's focus on how are we going to proceed now that ...".
I agree that anyone uttering the entire phrase in isolation comes across as a pretentious douchebag.
But "as per my prediction, revenues were below target again" or "x is not functioning correctly. This does not come as a surprise" is normal enough corporatespeak, and more polite than "I told you so" because it could mean other things.
