What should the group call itself?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TrendsTeam : One Thread

We haven't resolved this issue yet, though there have been some interesting proposals and ideas.

Karen suggests, and I tend to agree, that the word "Cutter" needs to be in the title in order to have some PR benefit.

The real question, I guess, is whether it's necessary for the word "future" or "trend" to be in the title. It could just as easily be "The Cutter Council"

Any current thoughts from anyone?

I'm leaning toward to Cutter Futures Forum. I don't particularly like Council. The only council it think of are the Security Council and some of the old Church councils. Doesn't just brim over with creativity and insight.

Cutter 21st Century Forum or Cutter 21st Century Council

I like Ken's new suggestion: Cutter Futures Forum (aliterations are always nice!). But you could have the Forum be something the clients join (since it sounds inclusive) and still have a "Council," which consists of all of you luminaries. I understand Ken's reservations about the word "council." But, to me, a forum implies a large group. I've come up with a working, tentative description of the service, and broken it down (as you'll see when I e-mail it to all of you) into both a version for the masses and an elite add-on that involves booking one of you on retainer for both face-to-face and "off-shore" (Jim's word for e-mail/phone access billed in eight hour increments) consulting. The forum could be the word we apply to the elite group.

A recent quote: "American managers are fond of the word guru because the aren't sure how to pronounce charlatan."

Just so we don't get too caught up in this :).
