In speaking to audiences, I often point out my surprise at how little time we spend in business really thinking about the future. It’s easy to do when there are numerous tasks at hand. But, since it’s where we’re all going to be spending the rest of our lives, you would think that we’d devote a bit more time to consider the future and your Futureview.

While it is undeniable that we are ramping up our actions against climate change, it is hard to deny that global warming is getting scarier every week. Here is a quick selection of horror stories I have collected this summer. The gigantic fires in British Columbia I was mentioning in a previous post are just one among many around the world. Popular Science reports that fires in Europe have been three times worse than the usual, making the episode being called Lucifer.

Mark Twain was once quoted as saying that the reports of his death “had been greatly exaggerated.” That, in fact, was an out-and-out misquote—an obvious mistake. The same can be said for the oft-predicted demise of Moore’s Law —in effect, a flawed expectation that runs counter to the ever-present potential of human ingenuity and innovative spirit. Stop thinking in terms of processing power and start thinking in terms of computing power.

Yes, but it pays to do your homework in advance to avoid any destructive hiccups—that, and to be open to the possibility that your existing organizational culture doesn’t have to survive in its current form.

Innovation is the lynchpin to success in an era dominated by exponential growth and transformational change. You know that. For some reason, many of your employees seem to know it even better. This raises the question: Is it an issue if your employees are more innovative than you are? And, what happens if there is a culture of innovation among staff that’s more developed and productive than anything your leadership team may have tried to encourage?
