Arik Johnson on the organizations of the future
The most important implications of any strategic trend is usually not that your organization must do something drastic, it is that your organization is obsolete and can’t respond effectively at all. Case in point: newspapers and the Internet. It’s not so much that newspapers could have done something to maintain their business model of classified advertising, [...]Evaluating forecasts in the 2010 – 2020 economy
Round numbered years are boom times for forecasters. There is something intellectually symmetrical about round numbers that makes people hungry for the future. Back in 2000, it was really easy to get people excited about forecasts for 2005, 2010, 2020, 2050 – all divisible by ten, mathematically elegant! There is something more confusing about analyzing [...]Classic futurist bait: digital androids
The future of video conferencing: having a physical representation of you in a room, a mannequin with your face digitally projected onto it. Creepy? Uh, yes, that’s a word that comes to mind. But people in a few years may look for all kinds of ways to enhance long-distance communications, and this may not be as [...]Nokia on our digital lives in 2015
Nokia is the poster child for futures thinking at the corporate level. They pulled off the amazing feat of transitioning their company from logging supplies, rubber boots and toilet paper over to cell phones, spurred by the transformative event of the bankruptcy of the Soviet Union. (How did they pull this off? I detail it [...]Arik Johnson at the Intelligence Collaborative – Putting Intelligence First

What is the collapse of NPT?
Otherwise, and interesting list of global risks to be mitigated by large institutions. I imagine some organizational cultures will be better than others at recognizing this.

Competitive Intelligence, Government Acquisitions, and a Hallucinogenic Future
With the bankruptcy of General Motors, our economy has finally hopped over the plane’s wing into the Twilight Zone. Not that this event was surprising to anybody with a cursory interest in money or cars - GM bet its future on the world’s endless thirst for bloated Hummers and Yukons and left quality and disruptive innovation to Asian rivals, all while locked into being America’s largest private provider of healthcare and pensions. You can get six Jack Welches, ten Peter Druckers and those guys w… Continue
