I'm not convinced that there is much clarity on a Brand for Indiana of the Future. Not what industries will we be invovled in, but what will we be known for? What will people think when they think of Indiana? Today, in terms of how people in other regions or cities see Indiana, I think they see corn fields. But I don't beleive that statement is a bash on our capabilities, it is a reflection of our long-term vision.
You see, when people have a clear vision to move forward, and they orga…

As the paper, Futuring - Part I, explains, the world is in exponential change, volatility and complexity at the same time major disciplines of thought are converging and technology is becoming mind-boggling.
In a world where people graduate from college already two years behind fast-moving knowledge advance and technology, how will we cope by continuing to rely on these traditional institutions?
Well, futuring in th…

Really enjoyed your speech at PK Night! I'm an avid yet amateur thinker/reader about the singularity - especially vis-a-vis AI- as well. Looking forward to diving into your blog on here.
Cheers!
Thank you for considering coming to the event! If you get a chance, will you RSVP on the event section of Smaller Indiana?
Looking forward to meeting you. Hope you can attend and bring guests!

Been back to Elizabeth lately? With all that Caesars money they paved the roads, built a golf course by the high school (that's the road to my house btw - Old Dam 43 Road), etc. They've completely destroyed the mythology of my youth as growing up in the country. Nobody's going to believe that for a second when they turn left at the country club to head down fresh blacktop to get to your house!
Dennis Mann suggested that I contact you to maybe get some ideas to improve website placement with web searches.
Thanks
It's called Documentation and Training Life Sciences and it takes place June 23-26, 2008 at the Union Station Crowne Plaza in Indianapolis. Smaller Indiana members qualify for a $300 discount off the price of attendance. Educators can get an even bigger discount.
I have a flyer I can send you via email that you can send to folks who might be interested. Let me know if you can help me spread the word locally.
Thanks in advance.
