Taking Control of our Future
What? One of the ideas I found most interesting from "Imagining a Post-Pandemic World", curated by the Institute for the Future, was the concept of forgetting about predictions. I like the idea of focusing on the relationship between technology, society, economics, and individual organizations to prepare yourself or your organization for various futuristic scenarios.
So What? This is interesting to me because, using Covid-19 as an example, we were all impacted/affected in different ways. Instead of comparing our experiences to others, one could try to further understand how this event has affected them and how they can best move forward within their community whilst striving to maintain a positive impact on the world with short and long term actions.
Now What? The implications of this information is to challenge individuals and businesses to intrusively evaluate how they have been affected by events that will impact their future. Pastor Charles Swindoll once said, "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it" and I think this emphasizes the importance of an individual or organizations reaction to the occurrence of events outside of their control.
