I am about to run out of business cards at work. I fancy a change of job title on the next batch.
| “ |
I need some help coming up with a new job title. I got promoted 18 mths ago but never changed it. I have decided to crowdsource a new one. |
|
|
| “ |
Current job title = Innovation Technician. What should my new one be? *Stands back and awaits abuse/comedy/serious suggestions* |
|
|
And boy did they come flooding in…

@em_cooper Lord Aden of Innovation? |

@aden_76 Lord Aden of Banking Innovation and Stuff |

|
Has a certain ring to it.
| “ |
@Whatleydude Splendidly regal but does it really give enough detail about what I do? |
|
|
Thank you James.

@aden_76 I nearly got away with putting “Director of WOW” at Telstra 12 years ago when we were doing an “e-business” pilot with bus cards |

@AndrewGrill I tried for Head of Awesome on some business cards a while back just to see if our secretary was checking. She was. |
|

| “ |
@aden_76 “Master Keith” |
|
|
I am not smart enough or cool enough to know what this means but it made me snort like a pig.

@aden_76 got to include ‘evangelist’ somewhere |
|
|
| “ |
@aden_76 though having ‘innovation’ in your title implies everyone else isn’t responsible for innovation, so you’re probably fucked. 😀 |
|
|
| “ |
@aden_76 Innovation Champion? Or why not invent a new one – Innovationalist! (i like that one) |

@aden_76 Jedi Ninja Innovation Evangelistia for Disruptive Currency Environments, SVP (CAPS not optional) |

| “ |
@aden_76 I forgot include: ‘Member of the Executive Board for Gamafication Gurus’ |
|
|
6 point font required to get all that on one card
| “ |
@aden_76 stick with Innovation Technician – there’s something delightfully je ne sais quoi about it 🙂 |

He has a point.

@aden_76 Mega something. |
|
|
Possibly the most offensive suggestion of the day. Again made me laugh a lot.

@aden_76 Surely it’s ‘Defender of the Universe’? I can think of no other title suitable for your good self. |
|
|
| “ |
@aden_76 I always was a big fan of ‘Director of Facsimile Transmission’ |
|
|
| “ |
“@imperica: Some advice here, perhaps? http://goo.gl/nFGmz Best job title – FMCG business “Global Head of Hair”” amazing. |
|
|
| “ |
@aden_76 How about just ‘Aden’? You’re really good at being Aden, and can claim you’re fulfilling your objectives every year… |
|
|
I like the practical nature of this suggestion. Maybe Chief Aden. VP of Aden.
| “ |
Sensible but boring suggestions = Innovation Analyst or Architect. |
|

The wankiest one I have come up with so far is Digital Futurist…or maybe should go with Post-Digital Futurist for full on comedy. |

My team mates were not as supportive as I would have liked
| “ |
People on the Internet are funny. |
|
|
And that was the end of that little experiment. Some fantastically amusing suggestions. I am no closer to deciding on a new job title or whether to just keep my current meaningless one. Either way it was a very amusing hour or so. Thank you one and all.
Just had two more that had to be added….

Interesting to see Andrew Grill’s tweet i.e. I nearly got away with putting “Director of WOW” at Telstra 12 years ago when we were doing an “e-business – as one of my clients has just renamed their customer support function to be their customer Wow team – are we regressing?
