Funky New Jobs Titles

In this new, new world of work

What titles are there yet to lurk?

The new MD

He or she or it could be:

Maverick Director;

Not your average reflector!

The IM is the person

Where intuition is the key

Or are they the Ideas Merchants

or just another fee?

IT stands for Interesting Thing

Technology drives the process

And we are told that knowledge

Must definitely be better than porridge!

The SD drives the sales

Or Sets Deception

Yet revenue collection

their fortunate projection

The HR director,

You’d better respect ‘er

Yet Human Potential

Sounds much more consequential?

Or politically correct,

You OLD cynical fool!

Now even that word

We must reject!

Where am I heading?

With this you ask

Must there be an end?

Or just another bend?

Charisma, inspiration

Or just hyper inflation?

Inspired Profit Mechanic

just more rats running manic?

But to get to the point

I forgot my route

Just tinkering

Under this hood.

I look forward

For backwards is hard

Because of this strain

And a lot of neck pain

Yes, its true!

In the race of life

Looking over my shoulder

I had it all misconstrued

No matter what you call yourself

As long as you with hand on heart

Can jump and not worry, off that shelf

Look out below!!! I’ve made my start!

Business Ideas...

“Ideas, we’ve had them
Since Eve deceived Adam
But take it from me,
Execution's the key”

A stanza from a poem entitled “How to get Rich” by Felix Dennis

I would suppose an approach to answering your question, would be to state:

“It depends on how you slice and dice it?”

What is meant by this statement, is that it depends on "where you are now?" and "where are you coming from?"

Are there any urgent needs or unfulfilled desires?
Is there a “tyranny of the status quo?”
Is there a need to re-invigorate profits?
Is it innovation you are after or merely idea generation?
As examples…

If we learn to open our eyes and engage and interact in the world around us, on a slightly different basis, veering slightly off the normal path or direction, keeping an open mind and asking “why” type questions all the time, we might continuously stumble across opportunities to recognize business ideas.

I am investigating the “open source of ideas” via social networking at the moment and your questions fits neatly into this type of category and investigation.

Ideas can also set off a chain reaction and following on from the themes in the poem by Felix Dennis in summary chain would probably look like this:

Ideas [require]
Funding [which attracts]
People [who engage in the]
Execution [adding to]
Overheads [which reduces]
Profit [margins shrinking and leads to a]
Focus [and a need to]
Question the initial proposition [which again leads to]
Ideas….
