Personally, I feel that a recovery in housing in Indiana will be slow, Three to five years of slower activity is my prediction. Our Sunday paper had 3 sheriff sale notices in it and I don't remember them ever being in a Sunday paper before. Locall...
Foreclosure. My opinion is the ranking is not the issue, a measuring stick it is but we should be concerned about why foreclosurers are happening. Back in 1976, my family was in the title business. A well run business that had been in business sin...
Hello Bruce. Thanks for the comment/question. While there are many other faiths with a similiar scope and focus, my intentions for this group is a Bible/Christian scope and focus. Being a Christian, my intent is to open the discussion from a bible...
I was just curious about the scope and focus of this group. There is an external group of Buddhists doing approximately the same thing. http://enlightenedbusiness.ning.com/ I was just wondering if other faiths would be welcomed here. Not implying ...
This group is for anyone interested in establishing a long-range planning center, futures institute, or a futures dialogue center for the state of Indiana.
What you are describing is long-range planning (LRP). Some IN communities have long-range plans, but I don't think the majority of these are comprehensive, consider future trends and weak signals, or are integral.
I use a SOFI that I modified to ...
Smaller Indiana can self-organize to define how we want the city to grow in the next 10 years. We can define the political agenda for the upcoming mayoral campaign.

Two Sides of the Future
Society is advancing. There is no doubt that we are moving faster and faster into truly staggering changes. But with every increase in scientific or technological knowledge there is a constructive and destructive potential.
We have run rather furiously at science and technology over the last 50 years and are only now starting to realize that many of the new discoveries and technologies we have espoused have really been out of control. Some of the more obvious examples of this dicotomy are nucle… Continue

Future Leadership
Rick Smyre, president of Communities of the Future, descirbes a new kind of leadership that is emerging. Rick is a former CEO and he has often shared with me how difficult it was for him to change his thinking and move away from traditional, top-down leadership approaches.
Take a look at this quote from the Communities of the Future website (leadership page) and visit the links below to get an idea of how Rick sees leaders

Where are We Going?
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

We need a core of people (50) who are truly committed to helping each other get through this economy and thrive.
It would be great to have you as a part of that.
Hope to see you next Thursday. See details below.
Thursday, April 30th

At Conquest Racing Headquarters

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!

Aaron M. Renn said… - Bruce, great to meet you in person. I still can't believe you're a South Central grad!
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!

Scott Abel said… - Just a quick note to let you know that I'm bringing a life sciences conference to town. I was hoping you might share this announcement with others who might find attending this event of interest.
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.
