Blog postWhat exactly is the metaverse? How soon will it arrive? What will it lead to? Where can we find its embryonic forms today?

Blog postLast year, without meaning to, I predicted the future. That was less strange than it seems, since I am a futurist. You could say I was expected to.
However, most postmodern futurists these days speak in scenarios of possibilities and not in terms of prophecies. It is both safer for job security, since the future will prove itself soon enough, more realistic, and as a bonus, even a bit more fun. So, I restrained myself for almost 300 pages, but in the last chapter I relented. Wha -

Blog postEvery day the use and application of technology further influences various businesses and the construction industry is no exception. In fact, as a result of this last year, the construction world is experiencing a boom in the use of construction specific-technology known as “contech.” This sudden construction technology adoption occurred with unprecedented speed: a post from the webpage Construct Connect states that this shift happened “in one year [in] what normally would have occurred in a

Blog postYour internet browser is your gateway into the world wide web, and as you’ve probably already experienced, at least by downloading another browser via the default browser that came with your computer, is that there are major differences between them, to the degree that using the wrong one just doesn’t feel right.
Yet what one does feel right? That’s what you’re here to figure out, so you can go back to browsing what you want to in a new and improved way.

Blog postIf you keep your finger anywhere near the pulse of the venture capital industry, you’ve accurately sensed that the power dynamic is shifting. While venture capital firms raised a record amount of funds in 2020 amidst a global pandemic, the volume of early stage VC deals fell dramatically in the past year. As the amount of capital in the market outpaces the level of investing and startups, investors need to seriously reassess how they work with founders if they want to survive in this new land

Blog postBack in 1999, David Bowie had the foresight to recognize that the internet was about to cause massive, unexpected shifts in the way humans communicate- and even the way we think. In an interview with Jeremy Paxman on a special edition of the program “BBC Newsnight” from that last year of the last millennium, Bowie predicted that the potential of what the internet could do to society, both good and bad, was, at that point, unimaginable. “I think,” he said, “we’re actually on the cusp of someth

Blog postYou have been invited as a guest at a podcast. Congratulations!
Then comes the moment of panic. What do I do now?
Maybe you read the small print and it says something about making sure you have great audiovisual equipment. You also start wondering how to behave on the podcast. Is it formal? Is it all done in one take? Do I have to dress up? Is there anything else to think about?
The answer is yes. Here’s what you need to know. This post is sent to all of my podcast gue -
Blog postPrivate equity (PE) isn’t synonymous with moving fast and breaking things.
The ideology that drove the startup world to expand and iterate as quickly as possible never seemed to bleed into the world of PE. The upper echelons of investors have been able to take their time when deploying large amounts of capital as they see fit.
Until now that is.
A new asset class is emerging that demands speed, flexibility, and an unorthodox approach to entrenched inv -

Blog postToday, I launch Futurized, the podcast. Futurized goes beneath the trends, tracking the underlying forces of disruption in tech, policy, business models, social dynamics, and the environment. It took me about a month to get to this point. I’m launching with six episodes, a video and audio trailer, and a bit of initial traction from beta listeners. In this post, I go through what have I learned so far in eight lessons answering the following questions: What it takes to be a podcaster? Who list

Blog postTechnology could be a panacea or it might disappoint most of us in the next decade. COVID-19 is only one influence, but may already set the boundaries of what’s possible to achieve. But we have human choices to make about what society we want to foster in 2030. Will it be one of these scenarios or a combination of them?
In Pandemic Aftermath (2020), out now, I chart five scenarios for the next decade: borderless world, nation state renewal, two worlds apart, Hobbesian chaos and statu -
Blog postWellesley (Photo credit: be11boy)
On 1 June 2013, my kids, wife and I were on the beach during the drowning of a 10 year old boy. This happened at Morses Pond in Wellesley, Massachusetts, the first drowning there in 38 years. The kid was found after 1.5 hours by a Fire Dept diver in waist high water, 30 feet from the beach. He was taken to the hospital but was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. Everyone’s question is: could this have been prevented? My answer is maybe, if leadership -

Blog postIn a surprising move, President Obama has appointed Governor Romney as Secretary of Business, in charge of new business creation and with the mandate to drastically simplify the regulations for small businesses.
Fantasy, you say? Yes, for now, but this would be a brilliant move. Here’s why.
Obama needs to demonstrate what he means by change. Obama’s second term is, among many things, about fixing Washington’s gridlock, putting America back to work, and delivering on the Americ -

Flying used to drain my energy. Whether on a short or long flight, I could not sleep. I could not rest. I felt crammed. I got stressed. I was inconvenienced by airport security. All of this went on for many years. Then, I decided not to wait to be comfortable until I was in a position of control, could travel business class or could avoid flying altogether. Rather, I decided it was a question of attitude and technique. In short, I started applying my very own princ -
Blog postI recently spoke to a group of Product Marketing students at KU Leuven, the famous and ancient university in Belgium.

Since I wrote Leadership From Below in 2008, there has been a steady flow of management books about bottom-up leadership. In The Leader Who Had No Title (2010), speaker Robin Sharma has put together a modern fable on success in business and in life. There are no revolutionary insights in this book, but its speaks to the frustrated, overworked American, which seems to be in the majority. Sharma also avoids being too patronizing. Instead of the traditional format he cho -

Taking forward the debate on Murray’s End of Management foray in WSJ recently, the new model is, in my view, not exactly Murray’s model. Instead, it is simply a hybrid of bureaucracy and entrepreneurship. Let’s call it entreprenocracy.
A few weeks ago, I went to a wedding at Oriel College in Oxford, UK. We had a wonderful time and as in all weddings, I eventually had to explain what I do for a living. It was late, so I resorted to the e -

MacroWikinomics, the sequel to the bestselling book Wikinomics is out this week. Should we rejoice? Sadly, no. Sure, the book has raving pre-publication commentary. The topic is cool: the prospect that each and every one of us is changing the world. But unlike the more methodical vision of Bill Drayton’s Ashoka, where “everyone a changemaker” actually refers to taking real actions towards becoming social entrepreneurs in your everyday interactions with your local c -

Blog postContinuing the debate on Murray’s End of Management foray in WSJ recently, I would say that the true changes brought about by openness have been here all along. Whether we have put them to use depends on the culture. In Norway, an egalitarian country, health informatics is not just something the IT industry tries to push on doctors.

There is a growing trend to use toddlers as a model for positive (and negative) leadership traits. This is not lost on FT’s Lucy Kellaway who in the FT Business Life On Work column on 13 September 2010 describes Nicholas Brann’s theory of leadership:
● Toddlers are full of energy and enthusiasm. You can’t beat a toddler who is really into something and going for it 100 per cent.
● Toddlers are natural risk-takers. They throw themselv -
