Think Forward EP 130: Futures of Democracy with Jake Dunagan 1:00:53

۷ روز پیش1:00:53

1:00:53

Jake Dunegan, a visionary operating at the intersection of futures thinking and political systems, shares how experiential futures can help us reimagine governance for the 21st century challenges we face. Drawing from his fascinating journey from anthropology to futures studies, Dunegan shares the moment he discovered a manuscript on "Quantum Politics" that proposed revolutionary ideas about constitutional design based on uncertainty rather than mechanistic balance. This epiphany eventually led him to establish the Governance Futures Lab at the Institute for the Future, where he pushes for nothing less than a renaissance in political system design thinking. Background in anthropology exploring fundamental questions about why people do what they do Discovered futures studies through a manuscript on "Quantum Politics" that proposed redesigning the US Constitution Co-created the Reconstitutional Convention in 2013 to bring together diverse thinkers to redesign political systems Developed experiential futures approaches to make possible tomorrows tangible today Led the Hawaii 2050 project creating immersive experiences of alternative futures Created pandemic simulations years before COVID-19 that explored prioritization of vaccines Founded the Governance Futures Lab at Institute for the Future to support political system design Believes our current governance structures aren't equipped for 21st-century challenge Emphasizes the importance of emotional connection to future possibilities, not just intellectual understanding Advocates for embedding futures thinking throughout our systems rather than treating it as a specialized activity And we find out where the best tacos and food trucks are in Austin, Texas The conversation explores Dunegan's groundbreaking work in experiential futures—creating immersive, tangible experiences that help people feel possible futures rather than just intellectually understand them. From the Hawaii 2050 project that created four radically different versions of Hawaii's future to pandemic simulations developed years before COVID-19, Dunegan demonstrates how making futures visceral can change decision-making in profound ways.

Think Forward EP 129: The Dao of Foresight with Alex Fergnani 1:03:38

14 روز پیش1:03:38

1:03:38

Alex Fergnani takes us on a journey from his beginnings as a martial arts student in Asia to becoming a provocative voice in futures thinking with his groundbreaking approach to foresight wisdom. His upcoming book "The Dao of Foresight" with Penguin represents a fresh approach to teaching foresight concepts through an entertaining narrative set in a fictional world. Following a hero's journey structure, the novel follows a young disciple seeking a master to help save his endangered village. Through this adventure, readers learn foresight techniques while engaging with wisdom from Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and Confucianism. Alex shares the comprehensive world-building process behind the book—creating maps, character backgrounds, and plot structures that form a rich universe accessible to audiences from teenagers to seasoned practitioners. Some highlights from our conversation: Entered futures accidentally after pursuing Asian studies and discovering a Future Studies program in Taiwan Views Kung Fu as the primary influence on his approach to foresight—focusing on rigorous fundamentals, discipline, and systematic processes Created "The Dao of Foresight" as an edutainment novel set in the Land of Pangu Developed a comprehensive world-building process with maps, character backgrounds, and a hero's journey narrative structure Believes the foresight field should first distinguish between futurism (speculation) and foresight (systematic approaches) Pivoting his career toward becoming a "communicator of wisdom" rather than a traditional foresight practitioner His personal revelation that his initial attraction to foresight's ambitious scope was partly compensating for deeper psychological needs offers powerful insight for anyone drawn to futures work. Whether you're curious about alternative approaches to futures thinking or interested in how storytelling can transform complex concepts, this episode offers a thought-provoking blend of Eastern wisdom and foresight practice.

Organizational foresight is the key differentiator between companies that merely survive and those that actively shape their future, enabling systematic anticipation of change through expanded thinking across three time horizons. • Foresight isn't corporate fortune-telling—it's a sophisticated navigation system showing multiple routes and spotting opportunities others miss • The three horizons framework balances improving current business (H1: 0-2 years), exploring emerging opportunities (H2: 2-5 years), and reimagining industries (H3: 5-10+ years) • Effective foresight models include centralized teams, hub-and-spoke systems, or distributed capabilities—choose what fits your organization's culture • Start small with approaches like "Future Fridays" or trend newsletters before scaling up • Build a diverse team combining strategic thinkers, researchers, storytellers, and bridge builders • Create a futures-focused culture by integrating foresight into existing processes and making it safe to challenge assumptions • Organizations with mature foresight capabilities achieve 33% higher profitability and 200% higher growth than industry averages • Measure success through learning metrics, process metrics, impact metrics, and value metrics • Begin with a "futures audit" of recent decisions to identify where foresight could add the most value Subscribe to the Think Forward podcast on all major platforms and YouTube under Think Forward Show.
