Introducing Integral Futures….Live

August 30, 2012 by Andy Hines Leave a Comment

I posted a a couple of clips introducing Integral Futures (part 1 and part 2, about 2o minutes total) taken from the UH Certificate in Strategic Foresight course about a year ago. I really owe Richard Slaughter for introducing the ideas to me (and others) and for carrying the banner forward — I reviewed his most recent–and excellent–book on the topic, The Biggest Wake-up Call in History.  I also wrote a piece, The Evolution of Integral Futures, with UH Faculty colleague Terry Collins last year that provides a handy overview of how the concept has been percolating through the foresight field. Those experience with the topic might be interested in how I introduce it. Those new to the topic may find themselves intrigued to learn more. We’ve been teaching more on it each year at UH and will likely continue to do so.

Others might be interested in my teaching/speaking style — always good for the buyer to beware :-)  Andy Hines

  • Foresight success? May 13, 2013
    I did a five-minute “Little Big” at the APF “Play” Gathering on May 3rd in Orlando. I called it “A Framework for Discussing Success.” The ideas emerged from dissertation and I am planning to write a journal article on it, but for now here are the main ideas. I reviewed the foresight literature to see […]

  • Reflections on the Future of Cities April 29, 2013
    The Houston Futures extended family gathered for a weekend of futures fun on April 12 and 13. While a key purpose is to give students, prospective students, alums, faculty and friends a chance to socialize and network in person, there was also plenty of good discussion about the future. The topic theme on “city making” […]

  • Futurist: specialist or generalist? April 22, 2013
    A prospective student raised a question about specialization in foresight in a recent APF listserve conversation. This question is also a frequent one of our Houston Futures grad students. We discussed the question recently in Pro Seminar and did a  ”personal branding” exercise to help us think through how we want to present ourselves to […]

  • Future of Knowledge Work April 18, 2013
    I have a new article that I put together with my frequent collaborator Chris Carbone of Innovaro on the Future of Knowledge Work published in Employment Relations Today. It explores how knowledge work is being reshaped by a variety of social and technological forces that together will alter how it is distributed, organized, and performed in […]

  • What do we call it? April 12, 2013
    It’s been great to hear growing interest in developing the field and profession of _______, um, what do you call it? I looked at this question in my dissertation and found it has received intermittent attention over the years (Cornish, 1977; Horton, 1999; Becker, 2002; Schwarz, 2005; Amsteus, 2008; Sardar, 2010; Masini, 2010; Marien, 2010; […]

  • Glass Houses April 5, 2013
    A great post by “The Consumerist” on a social-media driven issue on Future of Artificial Dyes in Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. Mary Beth Quirk tells the story of how two bloggers triggered an online petition with over 270,000 signatures that led to a meeting between the bloggers and Kraft. Here’s a telling quote from the […]

  • A Futurist Elevator Speech April 2, 2013
    Someone asked me recently for my elevator speech on “what is a futurist?” Basically, if someone asks you what a futurists is, what’s your 30-second response. [And we require our students in the futures studies program to do one.] I’ll confess that I am not consistent, and that there are a whole bunch of calculations I […]

  • Ten Do’s and Don’ts for an Aging Futurist March 26, 2013
    I just celebrated my birthday and realized that almost half of my life now has been as a practicing futurist – 25 years if you count the two years in the program at UH. In the spirit of eating one’s own cooking, I am forecast that I will at some point be an old or […]
