I’ve had some rather ‘interesting’ job titles in my time …
Sponge
Devil’s Advocate
Communications Innovator
Wanker [no, seriously]
… and as much as many people may think being called a ‘Planner’ is the most ridiculous of them all, a mate told me about this guy he met who had the most mentally brilliant job title ever.

That just reeks of Alpha male doesn’t it.
You can almost imagine Arnie bursting into a boardroom and saying,
“You have disappointed the Stratovator, I must now teach you a lesson you will never forget otherwise – I’ll be baaaaaack”
Anyway, as even the thickest kid in a Nottingham school can work out, this guy is obviously trying to say he is a ‘strategy innovator’ … however in my experience, just like people who say they’re CRAZZZZZY and then turn out to be accountants, I have a feeling this guy should actually be called a ‘TWATEGIST’ however regardless of that, I think STRATOVATING is the future and when you hear it being banded about in management books, remember where you heard it first.
Told you I’d be back to my cynical, miserable and evil self today. 🙂
