Reap What You New: A Futurist’s Guide to Anticipating and Leading Change
24 May 2010
On May 18, BMA- Minnesota was pleased to have global trends analyst, Cecily Sommers, Founder and President of The Push Institute provide a guide to anticipating and leading change. .jpg)
- Crisis is the result of unanticipated change
- Change literacy /permanent present; remembering, yet envisioning the future
- Need to be both global and hyper local at the same time
- Know; study, new, explore, do, execute
- Pour and stir; constantly add new information to make change and choices
- Four forces of change are constant and predictable: resources, technology, demographics and government.
Following the program was a small group workshop for BMA members. This was a great format to be able to discuss in detail how one begins to take the tools provided and put them to good use. Where does one begin to try and change how we receive and process information to ensure we do not miss opportunities and reach our potential? We need to find ways to “create purpose daily” and allow ourselves time to think freely and without restriction. Analyze less and “DO” more!
