FutureJerry Purpose

May 23, 2009

I have always been fascinated with the future. What’s next? What is around the corner – over the horizon? That life long quest has taught me that the future actually tells us in advance what it has in store.

Author William Gibson said it best, “The future has already arrived – it is just unevenly distributed.”

Those hints of tomorrow are cleverly hidden in today’s trends. They are the early warning – the first wave. Our challenge is to see these future possibilities in everyday events. All to often we are consumed in today living and miss the revelations of tomorrow. (Today and tomorrow coincide – but that is another discussion.)

Seeking the future led me in the past to be the CEO of two creative and innovative organizations. And, more recently, it evolved into being a speaker on future trends, and a facilitator of strategic thinking, and a personal advisor.

FutureJerry is my observations on current activities and events that appear to contain future threads. The format is comments on a subject and then projections of future impact. And, of course, you have the option to make comments.

These future threads may weave a tapestry that is clear or one that is obscure. They may build in logical order or confound in seeming disarray. That is the nature of interpreting trends. But, regardless, we will sharpen our awareness of today, see the possibilities of tomorrow, and make ready.
