Instead of predicting trends or following hype cycles, future archaeologist Markus Iofcea uncovers artifacts - fragments of possible futures - that help us rethink what's to come.Future archaeologist, co-author of the book Zurück zur Zukunft, and all-round inspiring mind, Markus Iofcea, is here to tell us that yes, the future can be ours to create! He digs in the future to see what treasures he can find in its vast archeological site - except his artefacts aren't the rare remnants of a civilisation gone-by, but rather inventions we are yet to make. Inventions that could change the world!From there, he hypothesises his discoveries infinitely - helping organisations to philosophically explore contexts, variations and parameters to test if an innovation will work well beyond our current, limiting reality.This was one of those rare, fascinating conversations that you won't want to miss - thank you for setting my mind alight, Markus!Find out about:What future archaeology is and how Markus explores the possibilities of the futureFuture artefacts: what they are, how to dig them out, and how to innovate themThe importance of removing an artefact from our current context to prepare for the unknownWhy we must ‘dig' at an innovation for as long as possible, interrogating its logical componentsHow Markus helps the corporate world to excavate innovations, free from limitations and predictionsDon't miss the next episode: subscribe to the show with your favourite podcast player.Links:Watch the video recording of this episode on YouTube.Link to his book Connect to Markus Iofcea:LinkedInWebsiteSupport the show✨✨✨Subscribe to our newsletter to receive a free 1-page summary of each upcoming episode directly to your inbox, or explore our eBooks featuring 50-episode compilations for even more facilitation insights.

AI can streamline tedious tasks but has limitations. Networking at industry events is valuable for growth. Understanding code is crucial for builders and inspectors. AI can enhance efficiency but cannot replace human intuition. The building industry is evolving with new technologies. Staying forward-thinking is important for professionals. Beta testing new tools can provide valuable insights.

VaYigash: Future Thinking by Rabbi Avi Harari

In the second of two special holiday episodes Claudia Hammond and an expert panel of psychologists look to the future. A new year is upon us, a time when we often find ourselves reflecting on the year gone by and thinking about what comes next. Thinking about the future comes so naturally to most people that we don't realise what a complicated - and essential - skill it is. Catherine Loveday, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Westminster, explains how our ability to mentally time travel into the future is useful for everyday tasks as well as fundamental to shaping our identity.Daryl O'Connor, Professor of Psychology at the University of Leeds, discusses how thinking about the future motivates us in the present.And Peter Olusoga, Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Sheffield Hallam University, describes how professional sportspeople use visualisation and future thinking to improve sporting success - and what the rest of us can learn from that.Together they discuss how we hold ideas of the future in mind, whether unbounded optimism is the best way ahead – or not, and how to science-proof our favourite future planning at this time of year - new year's resolutions.If you are suffering distress or despair and need support, including urgent support, a list of organisations that can help is available at bbc.co.uk/actionline.Presenter: Claudia Hammond Producer: Lorna Stewart Content Editor: Holly Squire Studio Manager: Emma Harth Production Co-ordinators:  Siobhan Maguire and Andrew Rhys Lewis

This week, we engage in a thought-provoking discussion on leadership and the philosophy of inquiry with Ralph Mercer.  We examine the significance of challenging our assumptions and fostering robust thinking in collaborative environments. Ralph shares insights from his diverse background, including his experiences in the military and academia, to illustrate how our worldviews shape our understanding of the future.  We discuss the role of technology in shaping human experiences, the concept of gray swans in foresight, and practical methods for analyzing literature through causal layered analysis. Join us as we unpack these ideas and consider how they can enhance our leadership practices and decision-making processes. SHOWNOTES are here. Key Quotes "Better leadership needs better thinking. If we can think about what our common drivers are, our common drivers create connection." Zoë Routh "When we have connection, we can actually create a path forward. That is the magical thinking that we're after." Zoë Routh "Our understanding of ourselves and the world around us defines how we see the present and the future, and very much how we deal with our problems every day." Ralph Mercer "Causal layered analysis became a very good way for me to take apart the book and look at what was hoping to psychologically motivate me to believe this way." Ralph Mercer "If you're reading something to develop yourself or to understand the bigger picture, then you've really being human to yourself and to those that you're going to be dealing with." Ralph Mercer Questions Asked How can we effectively challenge our thinking and develop robust perspectives in leadership? In what ways do metaphors and underlying philosophies shape our understanding of leadership literature? What tangible benefits arise from deep reading and analyzing texts to enhance our leadership capabilities? Take Action Challenge Your Worldview: Regularly reflect on beliefs and engage with diverse perspectives and consider how they influence your leadership style.

Monatelang haben wir es angekündigt und nicht geliefert, und jetzt gleich drei Gäste hintereinander! Mit Wilhelm Rinke haben wir einen Biologen und Strategic Designer, der sich (nicht nur, aber auch) bei Accenture Song mit dem Thema Zukunft beschäftigt. Er bevorzugt den Plural und nennt es Zukünfte. Wilhelm und Oskar arbeiten beide leidenschaftlich gerne mit Zukünften und wir diskutieren sie anhand vieler Fragen: Wie kann man der Zukunft die Schwere nehmen? Wie ist Michael als junger Berufseinsteiger mit dem Thema Zukunft umgegangen? Was war ihm damals wichtig? Warum hat er aus seiner Doktorarbeit über Öko-Marketing nichts gemacht? Was ist der Wert der Natur? Warum sind Geschichten wichtig, um sich möglichen Zukünften zu nähern? Wie helfen Werkzeuge wie die PESTEL / STEEP-Analyse? Was genau ist kritisches oder spekulatives Design oder gar Design Fiction? Wie geht ein mittelständisches Familienunternehmen, das sich die “Enkelfähigkeit” sichern will, mit Zukünften um? Wie verändert sich das Bewusstsein zu Zünften bei jüngeren Generationen? Was verbirgt sich hinter dem WhatsApp-Newsletter STUDIO WEATHER von Wilhelm und Oskar? → Hier ist der Link zum Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VadrEGZ7z4klgqQlMt0C Die Zeit vergeht wie im Flug und zum Schluß gibt es noch einen ultimativen Literaturtipp: Anthony Dunne, Fiona Raby: Speculative Everything: Design, Fiction, and Social Dreaming Wer uns live sehen und hören möchte, hat hier die Chance: AI Impact Days: 15.10.2024, Berlin Orgatec: 23.10.2024, Köln VITRA | SCHWADKE BÜROEINRICHTUNGEN, 21.11.2024, Rosenheim Wir freuen uns über jeden Kommentar, jede Ideen oder Frage, und ja auch über 5-Sternebewertungen.

“If you want to stay viable in your bookkeeping business, you're going to have to make that shift, and make your customers understand that they need you, and value you and your thought process that AI can't do for them.” -Lora Lonesberry   There can be no doubt that AI is changing our world. Yet we are not all as doomed to be replaced by technology as some would have us believe. AI, like all new inventions, offers us the chance to grow, by embracing a technology that can make our lives easier, while giving us more time to focus on the unique insights only we can provide.    Without challenges there can be no growth, they keep us on the cutting edge of industry, daring us to keep up, deepening our skill set, experience and knowledge. Experience that clients are in desperate need of. AI can do the numbers faster than us, but it can't contextualize them for the specific needs of a client. It can't understand the dreams and hopes tied up in our client's businesses.    Lora Lonesberry, owner of Positive Statements, is this episode's featured guest. She has spent her varied career helping people get proactive and creative when facing the challenges of business and personal growth. She speaks to the power of finding your niche and leveraging your unique skills to overcome any challenge and the need for strong community networks.    If you are struggling to keep up, and don't know which tools to use or how to leverage your skills, then this is the episode to get you asking the question; ‘What might your business look like if you implemented strategies to use AI to enhance, not replace, your services?'   During this interview, you'll learn... How to leverage AI to improve the success of your business The value of thinking about the little things The importance of community & networking  To find out more about Lora, click here.   Connect with her on LinkedIn and Twitter.   Time Stamps   01:47 - Making the most of changes  04:18 - Embracing a change in thinking 07:06 - Getting to grips with AI 21:08 - Thinking about the little things  26:04 - Levelling up on your gaps  30:32 - Finding your niche

Futurist Ari Wallach shares how to become future-conscious. Futurist Ari Wallach knows it can be very difficult, but he's going to need you to think about yourself. Not yourself right now — that's easy to do. You're already doing it! He means thinking about yourself in the future. Keeping what may lie ahead in mind — being future-conscious — makes you more likely to eat right and exercise; more likely to plan ahead financially; more likely to forge strong, healthy relationships and treat people right. Researchers have found we see our future selves like celebrities, like some vaguely knowable figure. And when that extends society-wide, we make decisions that may not benefit us, like spending recklessly or harming the climate for quick gain. Wallach is the founder and executive director of Longpath, an initiative that wants to foster being future-conscious. If you can keep tomorrow in mind, it can be possible to have a better today.

Based on twelve years of anthropological exploration, Vincent Ialenti'sDeep Time Reckoning: How Future Thinking Can Help Earth Now (MIT Press, 2020) is an engaging guide on deep time learning to reorient our understanding of time and space. As each chapter begins with creative vignettes to capture the reader's imagination and empathy and concludes with five to six reflective "reckonings," the book focuses on Finland's nuclear waste experts whose daily lives revolve around considerations of the far-flung futures and deep pasts. The main goal of chapters one and two is to pursue independent, expert-inspired, long-termist learning. The book's second goal, captured in chapters three and four, is to encourage support for highly trained, too often ignored, long-termist experts. By combating the deflation of expertise by weaving together chains of generational knowledge, Deep Time Reckoning advocates for one route of spirited and adventurous learning to rescue hopes of a safe tomorrow from the Earth's current ecological death spiral. Sarah Newman (@newmantropologa) is an archaeologist and Assistant Professor of Anthropology at the University of Chicago. Her research explores long-term human-environmental interactions, including questions of waste and reuse, processes of landscape transformation, and relationships between humans and other animals.

I'll be joining host Nola Simon to share my multi-lens perspective on why business leaders and people managers should be focusing much less on outdated norms around in-office work. Instead, we need to optimize talent, flexibility, employee empowerment and outputs versus office attendance. I'm looking forward to diving deeper into Future Thinking and the opportunities hybrid working unlocks across areas like:

Maggie Greyson MDes is an award-winning professional futurist and the CEO of Futures Present. This boutique agency helps people make decisions in times of extreme uncertainty using design and futures thinking practices.

"Office shock" is the term for an abrupt, unsettling change in where, when, how, and even why we work.  Over the last few years, we have seen an abnormally large number of these events, So how are thought leaders working to be prepared for an uncertain future? To get a better understanding of how to thrive in unpredictable times, I've invited Joseph Press to join me.  Joseph is the Co-Founder of Make Our Future, a global consulting cooperative dedicated to transitioning organizations to more sustainable and equitable practices. Joseph takes us inside the pages of his new book Office Shock: Creating Better Futures for Working and Living, which focuses on leaders in organizations that have a need to contribute and change both their business practices and culture. The success of Office Shock hinges on it touching a nerve with those leaders, helping them to realize they have an opportunity to make the changes that are needed to build a better future for everyone. Once they do, Joseph's insights help leaders become ready for any changes the future has in store. Joseph shares why leaders need to think outside the box, going back to creating things and focusing on engaging others in collective action.  Only by approaching this task humbly and with a sense of empathy and desire to connect with others who are different from you can we hope to create new connections, learn, and innovate. Three Key Takeaways: * Leaders need to be willing to remove themselves from present thinking and be more willing to think outside the now in order to be prepared for the future. * In order for your ideas to successfully reach their audience they have to strike a nerve in a way that moves them to action. * Leaders need to be self-aware and look inwards to understand their strengths and weaknesses before they can hope to have meaningful connections.

Historian John Jeffries Martin traces narratives of the Apocalypse over the last 500 years in the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim traditions in his new book, A Beautiful Ending. This discussion about the culture of Apocalypse follows (and is the second part of) an interview we began on the New Books in History Podcast which was a historical discussion. Professor Martin is an Early Modern Historian at Duke University. His earlier books include Venice's Hidden Enemies: Italian Heretics in a Renaissance City (1993), and Myths of Renaissance Individualism (2004). He is also editor of several books, including The Renaissance World (2007), which I remember reading as a graduate student.

This week's podcast is from my interview with Rachel Krantz and her wonderful podcast, “Help Existing.” This week I'm talking with meditation teacher Jonathan Foust about the tendency of the mind to live in the future. Whether it's fantasizing or mundane planning, I know I often find my mind off in the future. Its underlying cause is an overdeveloped impulse to find pleasure and avoid danger and discomfort. Future thinking is impossible (and ill-advised) to avoid entirely --but I would like to learn to reign it in so that I can be more present in my life. At the same time, as we talk about in this episode, future thinking has a purpose: it can alert us to what we're anxious about, where we might be headed in life, and what we value. What I got out of this conversation is that it's about learning how to work with it skillfully. This episode provides many practical tips for exercises that might help you do that. You may remember Jonathan from last season's episode "Help Figuring Out the Most Important Thing."  I often turn to Jonathan for some of life's biggest questions. He's so wise, and I've found his podcast and YouTube channel extremely helpful.

Dr Roz Savage MBE is an Ocean Rower, Author, Speaker, Lecturer, Sustainability Advocate. Her feats have been described by Sir Richard Branson as “Heroic, epic, inspiring, historic.” Best known as the first (and so far only) woman to row solo across the world's “Big Three” oceans - the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian - Roz inspires us to think again about what is possible, and encourages us to step up fully into the potential of our highest selves.She combines her self-taught life skills with principles from neuroscience, psychology, personal development and leadership theory, to inspire people around the world. In 2010 she was named Adventurer of the Year by National Geographic. In 2012 she was a World Fellow at Yale. In 2013 she was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in the Queen's Birthday Honours for services to fundraising and the environment. In 2017 she took up a position at Yale, lecturing on Courage in Theory and Practice.She's author of four books, the most recent of which, The Ocean in a Drop, is published in November 2022.  She's a committed and vibrant speaker whose experiences have reached audiences across the world with her example of the potential for transformation that lies within all of us.  In our conversation, we delved into her experience of the oceans - what led her to throw in her job and take instead to the high seas - and then how she is using the self-knowledge she gained then, the emotional, mental and spiritual transformation that arose, to bring change to the world around us.  We explore politics and economics and theories of change that bring us to the cutting edge of what is possible.

People often erroneously plan for specific futures. This leads down a pathway to failure most times.This is because the future is rarely what we expect it to be. We can think in terms of multiple possible futures, and prepare for most of them. This leads us towards flexibility and adaptabiity.
