Podcast appearances and mentions of marina gorbis

Executive Director of the Institute for the Future Marina Gorbis and Institute for the Future Equitable Enterprise Initiative Advisor Jerry Davis discuss how to change the register from industrial values to collaborative commerce.

Marina Gorbis is executive director of the Institute for the Future, a place where business executives, policymakers, nonprofits, and others use foresight and futuring techniques to make better long-term decisions. For example, you might work with the Institute for the Future to anticipate and be able to plan for a worldwide pandemic. In fact, Marina worked on just such a project years before COVID hit. Now that the pandemic is real, interest in futuring has spiked. Marina talks about what futuring is and the trends she's seeing—in particular, how our relationship with work is changing. She also talks about how she defines value creation, that project that anticipated the pandemic, and her current project, the Equitable Enterprise Initiative.

Kamilah Forbes, Marc Bamuthi Joseph, and Paola Prestini of the Apollo Theater, the Kennedy Center, and National Sawdust engage in conversation surrounding futurism; how can we reimagine a collective future? How does futurism intersect with art and culture? What do we know about the future for sure, and what is there for us to create, together? Episode 4 Part 2 will be posted June 17, 2021.

"The Adaptation Advantage: Let Go, Learn Fast, and Thrive in the Future of Work" by Heather E. McGowan and Chris Shipley (2020) (http://bit.ly/3r8npRo) "We are so focused on developing machine capabilities to perform cognitive work that we nearly fail to develop our uniquely human skills, and paradoxically we have trained humans to act more like machines. We are conditioned, for example, to respond to the stimulus of a smartphone alert and have trained ourselves to structure data in ways computers can understand. We test people on tasks that machines can do (retrieve information), rather than asking people to act more like humans (creating and collaborating). We ponder just how powerful silicon computing can become and yet we don't even know what humans are capable of doing" (p. 122).

The future is already here, it's just not evenly distributed, science fiction writer William Gibson has famously said. But how do you separate the signal from the noise? It helps to ask someone who does it for a living. Marina Gorbis, executive director of the Institute for the Future, shares the tricks of the trade, reflects on growing up in the former Soviet Union, and predicts that an age of transformation has just begun.

Socialstructing is a new model that empowers individuals, rather than institutions, to create impact by utilizing modern technology to build large networks. In this audio lecture from the 2013 Nonprofit Management Institute, Marina Gorbis describes how micro-contributions from people in these networks enable flexibility and unlock potential in ways that institutions cannot. She shares three stories about successful socialstructing: the transformation of an abandoned building, fostering science education, and collecting crime-related data worldwide. Gorbis explains that, through socialstructing, technology allows individuals to accomplish difficult tasks without money, staff, or management, and generates new types of value that can replace institutional approaches in the future. Marina Gorbis is a futurist and social scientist. She serves as executive director at the Institute for the Future (IFTF), a Silicon Valley nonprofit research and consulting organization. In her fourteen years with IFTF, Gorbis has brought a futurist perspective to hundreds of organizations in business, education, government, and philanthropy to improve innovation capacity, strategy development, and product design. She has written a book, called “The Nature of the Future: Dispatches from the Socialstructed World,” and has written for BoingBoing.net, FastCompany, Harvard Business Review, and other major media outlets. Gorbis holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s in public policy from UC Berkeley. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/the_nature_of_the_future_from_institutions_to_amplified_individuals
