“Forging a new path to our

symbiotic future”

4

Backward

Looking

Society

The Future is…

• Constantly unfolding

• Relentless

• Happening whether we want it to or not

• One of nature’s greatest forces

The future will happen

with or without us

agreeing to participate

The future

is in control

If your next project is

not aligned with the

problems, needs, and

desires of the future,

the future will kill it!

So, what does the

future want?

Inside this question is the

key to our symbiotic future

How does the

future get

created?

The future gets

created in the minds of

people around us

People make decisions today

based on their interpretation of

what the future holds

The Future

Creates the

Present

Our visions of

the future

determines our

actions today

Image by Stephan Martiniere

If we change people’s

visions of the future,

we change the way they

make decisions today

“Disruptive

Innovation”

• Catalytic Innovation

creates entirely new

industries

All industries are a bell curve...

...and all industries end

Most industries today...

...are in the second half of the bell curve

Future Education

142

Prediction

“By 2030 half of all

traditional colleges

will disappear.”

- Futurist Thomas Frey

143

144

We need to prepare

students for jobs that

don’t exist…

Defining the Problem

145

Using technology

that hasn’t been

invented…

146

To solve problems

we don’t even know

are problems yet!

Bold companies are

instantly triggering the

need for talented

people with skills

aligned to grow with

cutting edge industries 151

Micro Colleges

152

Micro Colleges

• By 2030 the average worker will have

rebooted their career 6 times 153

Micro-Colleges Defined

Immersive forms of post

secondary education done in

short periods of time

154

The Micro-College Role

It is no longer possible to predict

the educational needs of business

4-5 years in advance. Micro

Colleges are a responsive

framework for creating talent pools

to meet the fluid demands of

business

155

Micro-Colleges

• Crowdfunding certification academy

• Dog breeder university

• Brew master college

• Drone pilot school

• Data visualization and analytics school

• Aquaponics farmers institute

• Urban agriculture academy

The Future is Ours to Write

160

Predictions

• The Internet of Things will virtually

eliminate theft.

• The world’s first trillionaire will come from

the emerging cryptocurrency movement.

• Driverless cars will change transportation

as dramatically as the invention of the

automobile itself.

161

By 2030, the average person

• Own printed clothing

• Live in a printed house

• Have packages delivered by drones

• Own more than one robot

• Work as a freelancer

• Frequently use a driverless car

• Will be 3 times more educated

• Will be capable of accomplishing 100 times

as much as the average person today 162

We are entering a period of

unprecedented opportunity

163

Why is this period so important?

• Humanity will change

more in the next 20

years than in all of

human history

• Risk factors will

increase exponentially

• Our children’s children,

who haven’t even been

born yet, are

depending on you 164
