the wicked opportunities podcast

You can certainly do both of those things. Again our real discovery is collective. Its like this urbanization piece, can we create cities not to be our consumptive problem, our wicked problem, but can we create cities to be our wicked solutions, our wicked opportunities? Culture within organizations is different. its not science anymore. Fear of uncertainty, fear of the unknown, fear of change. Eta? Aint it crazy? What youll find is were not playing favorites, although we are a transformational organization in our DNA-. Because we cant stress enough that foresight takes a lot of courage. Frank: The Alien franchise started the year that I started high school. Resilient keep the lights on adaptive. I love this idea of the root beyond. Just be careful. but literally, were not focusing. Theyre struggling even harder to curate and cultivate a organizational culture and I could see that resulting in a backlash to creativity of wanting more and more people to perform. [00:22:40] Yvette: Excellent. Foresights not just for profit anymore. Frank: We did. Yvette: Thats right. We often talk about it in connection with this idea of educated in capacity, knowing so much about what you know that youre the last to know that things are changing. Frank: Theres so many apps out now that will tell you how long youve spent, so that you detox from it. How do we use something like brain computer interfacing? Well see you next time. Rick and Morty, Rick Sanchez and [crosstalk]. Frank: If you dont get the Peeps part, if youre listening, theyre shaped like little tiny chicklets. Last week, we talked about strategies we could do to deal with this new landscape, resiliently, adaptively, and transformatively. We were brought in because he was like, Ah, foresight, we really need this. He was super excited about it. Ive had a lot of fun. Yvette: Yes. The lone genius, isnt just about someone challenging the ethics and acting alone, but theres a secretive aspect, right? Frank: She was the good Mulder was the crazy mad scientist on the show, I think in a way. It should not be conflated with technology or the attention economy or being made into a zombie today as a consumer and that kind of thing because its so important it deserves its own talk. Then when the sun goes down, my day comes to a close. Our consciousness expanding is creating more universe. Frank:Amazing, and they were in the transition of moving to the offices across the street, which I cant remember the time but it was owned by some really famous actor or actress. Its our systems that many of them are built to give us energy and pay people and have jobs and feed, but theres got to be a better way. Yvette: Again, I only highlight that because I think its easy for us to sit there and say, Well, obviously, Im progressive and I would accept who my neighbor is. Its because when it came to the close of that part of my story, it was because I was transitioning away from this siloed perspective of religion to this view of we really need to care about the generations that come in the future and whats on the horizon. Learn more about UROP. Frank: Either fired us or got fired by us. It wasnt, Your goldfish is going to die. I think that his final vision, the one where he had put the glass back together, it was multifaceted. We dont have to wait 50 or 100 years. Discover, explore, map, create are four weeks of every theme. I was telling our friends at Design Features Institute this past week the phrase creative complexity. Games are good for kids. Yvette: Its not just a profit anymore, how about that. The scientists said, Whats going on right now is cowboy science, but that doesnt mean that thats the best way to proceed. Join futurists Yvette Montero Salvatico and Yvette: Yes, because lets be clear, its loungewear or nowhere. Were suggesting that theres technology, we are forming technologies like neuro Lacy in these kinds of things, but thats just scratching the surface. Alien trope, literature, movies, and all, sometimes the aliens come to help us. Its, Lets completely look at this like the alien would. I hate that message. Yvette: Political. Everybody Frankenstein is saying goodbye, and Ill see you next week. Ultimately, what were trying to demonstrate with these podcasts is how you and your everyday can unpack problems both in your personal and your professional and in society and use foresight to discover novel, new ways of approaching it. Frank:That almost always are more successful. When you go read it, youll walk away going like, Oh, my gosh, why are we looking at things backwards? Its true that its like the more consciousness, the more thats created. Lets get started. I laugh because its usually people dont buy into that. Yvette: Oh there you go, Scrappy-Doo. If youre tuning into this, you probably saw the banner. Yvette: Yes. I need to catch up but our systems werent created to value building anything long-term, cathedral thinking. Frank: I think we started off the first month saying that the reason we created monsters was to make sense of our fears, and our biases, and our worries. Sorry, I didnt mean to stumble on the homogenous piece. Frank: First month. We will be in Austin, Texas, I think around Halloween time during our program in-person. Its important for science extension and its like, Yes, its important. I want to start at the top. Yvette: Oh, thats right. Frank: Yes. This was just posted on LinkedIn. The Wicked Opportunities Podcast Even as an adult, youre like, Oh, theres still one class? You have to keep. In an environment of exponential complexity, have to be seen in a completely different way. Thats like when I say a word to you already have this preset way of thinking and all of these mechanisms in your mind fire about what it is. As a matter of fact, I think thats embedded in our message here today. Yvette: I know what I was going to say. You could argue that the origins to those Facebook debates that youre having right now is the 1800s. Frank: Its a serious threat to democracy, to stabilization. Putting them as leaders in the field instead of just trying to benchmark or copy others. Yvette: Were fond of saying that a lot of our wicked problems come from the fact that we silo things, and I cant think of a more siloing impactful aspect to the zombie apocalypse than the idea that technology is separate from us, that technology is separate from humanity, that technology is separate from society. Youre not remembering. Now, you really know why. First, were going to spin the wheel Yvette:-and see what seat category we land on. Were dealing with an environment right now, I think, worldwide but definitely in the United States where were just not seeing the importance enough of finding ways to get this kind of information, the knowledge, learning, and wonderment in the hands of people, but we are working overtime to make sure that the public gets plenty of social media, instagramming, tiktoking, and Amazon products at their fingertips and thats the billionaire guys. By the 1800s were in full bloom writing about stories about aliens and all, somewhat because of the fear of other races, which dont exist. Frank: I was going to say, what is the combination of these approaches look like? Yvette: If you have brothers, you know it can be a few things. Yvette: Its why we call it the warm familiar blinky. The only way you would do that is by using history and we know that thats the worst predictor of the future. We see that every day becoming more real. Yvette: In the meantime, as youre listening to these episodes and old ones, feel free to give us a rating and a review, thatll help promote the podcast and help us further our mission to democratize the future and democratize the field of foresight. You may have heard it as 3D printing. This article talks about this idea of conscious consent, which I think is a term youre going to hear a lot about coming in the future, because how many of you participated in that face app exercise, where it said, Hey, look at what your face looks like in 40 to 50 years? I think it was really telling one of the articles that we read in preparation was close your eyes and imagine a scientist. Youll see this in the film if you havent seen it. Frank: You should visit the Museum of the Weird. Remember we had that partner in South Africa that had really always had wanted a Peep and it was not Easter time, but she thought we had them all the time. In fact, our three ways of scanning within it has a couple of frameworks as well. Frank: Whats the benefits of being in the club? Right? Frank: Rick Sanchez, crazy drunk, Rick. Yvette:A quick background on this case study, and then well talk a little bit about our learnings and how you could apply those learnings in your own foresight practice. Yvette: Thats a response that comes out of fear, which is really interesting. Frank: Thats right. Yvette: Are you suggesting that I have an issue with control? As it relates to this topic, we took a stab at this and created a little bit of a headline for each of these, right? Were taking the articles, weve done scanning, were going to talk about some articles that sort of drift from the alien invasion idea more towards the alien eyes as we move along in the articles and then as you know, if you listened to the first week, were going to spend that. Yvette: In innovation, we got strategy in the middle there. Complexity is your friend. Yvette: Product, architecture. When you scan from the point of impact, we use those five point of impact questions, which you all from the first collection should already know them by heart. That nasty letter not dirty letter would be about me saying something bad about the metaverse, because you guys have already heard that Im not convinced about this whole metaverse thing, especially when its like, Oh, the metaverse is growing in popularity and its about buying a virtual dress for your avatar. Yvette: I also think theres a huge fear component here. Hope to see you there. Thats our first lesson. The Futures School and the Natural Foresight Framework are registered trademarks of Kedge, LLC (dba TFSX), Everyday Foresight: Unlock Your Inner Futurist Being. Frank: Yes, of course, because the Terminator is finally were like, Look, were the top of the food chain. Ive heard you tell these stories across the globe and I should be fascinated by it. You should still use STEEP or PESTEL or wherever to scam broadly. You have to subscribe. Our goal is to empower you to discover the future and create it today. Then were like, Lets bring some plants inside. Its so weird. We always do that in week one. The idea here is that this Wicked Problem of implementing foresight, its a challenge and we know this to be true and its our mission at The Future School to democratize foresight and the future. Frank: For our consumptive purposes. Yvette: Gizmo, the Kedge puppy can be Scooby. Thats[unintelligible 00:11:13]. Our approaches and processes need to be more organic and reflective of the complexity that theyre working within. Weve talked about a service, this updated idea around literacy that obviously just includes the digital component and now we want to talk about an experience. You dont need to be afraid to also promote that. Its not lost in translation if you will. Now, were left with the third way of scanning, which is the point of impact. Frank:They actually on a regular basis served the A Dole Whip from Disneyland. What weve discovered over the last few weeks of tackling this issue is that really alien invasion is a fear of the unknown and a fear of uncertainty, which weve talked about is very meta as it relates to strategic foresight, right? Sorry that I didnt say. Yvette: Oh, very sweet. Theres Tigger walking down the hallway with his head off and a cigarette in his hand. I know were not hitting on this one in particular but our good friend Richard Ramsey also at Disney [unintelligible 00:19:44] loved early in his futurist. Of course, you finish Zombies now if youve been listening, and so were entering as that said, our new month, which is all about aliens. If we do that, then we get this outcome of the next generation recognizing fake news better and misinformation, being able to see that and recognize it for what it is, or how do we actually monetize that attention both ways? Frank: That the whole world, that we came together as the human species-. Everything doesnt have to be monetized. The idea here is that if you have a challenge, you say, Hey, if I had an alien from another planet, come down and take a look at this. What obvious things would they see that we cant see because our educated incapacity? That is reconciliation, that is empathy. Its not pie in the sky optimism. Yvette: Yes, I said actual alien invasion. Its not the pig flu, thats part of the flu, but a worse flu. WebListen to The Wicked Opportunities Podcast on Spotify. We define anthropological regeneration, our wicked opportunity for month seven, the last month of this collection, as a reframing of humanitys role in the natural co-design and co-creation of earths complex, interconnected and biodiverse ecosystem in which our species transitions from being destroyer to restorer. Yvette: Which is again is really important. Frank: Well, I love this one because weve had a lot of client work over the last year and a half where weve written a ton of scenarios. Frank: Around the unknown. Yvette: -questions that we used to go through in I think week three in the last collection. It might not say avatarcracy. Yvette: Anyway, welcome everyone to The Wicked Opportunities Podcast. WebThe world is filled with Wicked Problems - incredibly complicated predicaments that dont have simple solutions. I dont want little skits. Of course, thats what it was over. This article starts with the idea of how powerful it is to see your name or to hear your name, and how personalizing content in that way really fosters a stronger emotional connection. Frank Spencer: We have had a ton of incredible global adventures. Youve got yourself in trouble. Mine would always probably revolve around something to do with high school. It needs a new name? Its the opposite, and thats what foresight does. Yvette: Thats true nowadays. I chose this moment to tell her early on as I do with all new employees to try to break them in, to tell them about the fact that I used to live in a haunted house. I dont think I spoke for the next hour. High school is just such a scary, scary, scary time in peoples lives, I think. Wicked Frank: Dont even elaborate on that. As we talked about last week, we are in alien invasion is our wicked problem. Frank: Well, I did because our researcher, Ashley Powers, she fed this article to me, and I loved it. When youve got that much crazy, ridiculous, insane, and psychopathic money, why not make a rocket shape phallic and go into space even though you have no astronaut training. Even if it isnt an actual timeless idiom, the sentiment holds true - when were open to learning and expanding our field of knowledge instead of becoming closed to ideas that shake up our Theyre on little stakes and little wooden dowels. Then now you see that in the Monster Collection weve got a header that appears in the REFRAME Magazine, and it goes from black and white to color across the three weeks until its fully colored on the fourth week, and that comes from Eugene, who goes by Wickard on 99designs, and hes amazing. Sometimes that leaves both parties feeling like they didnt get what they wanted. I cant believe that still exists in this day and age that were still using the term. Yvette: Obviously like Frank was saying, its a clear extension from the idea of authentic experiences as well, especially how weve framed it, and if you think of biomimicry as redesigning our spaces to reconnect us to and realize we are a part of nature. I think I want to say she was maybe high school, maybe college, like I dont know, young woman and she did a whole series for African-American History Month, Black History Month. Oovvuu. Frank: Of course. Yvette: Here, our systematic recognition is reinforcing this idea of the lone genius of the individual contributor and the savior of it all. Frank: Im going to steal your thunder, because to be quite honest, this was your idea. If you look up at Jack Andraka and Intel and youll see his story, but one of the things that he was challenged by was that getting access to research and information about what had been tried and done before was all behind paywalls. Yvette: Risk and anxiety and those false narratives are being amplified. You were like, I dont even remember that. She put on here, The Day the Earth Stood Still in 51. Frank: We have. Yvette: Well, within the system theyre having to work into. I need to just get out there, we need to live our lives. Theyre also usually White, usually wealthy. Shes not alone in this would not sound unfamiliar to our listeners to say that she talks about and others have said that words, they hold so much meaning and definition [crosstalk] and power. That could have been a good name. Science is a collective collabo experience, but our systems dont reflect. Then we had the zombie cure. Frank: Were embracing it now, especially for our monsters collection, the rats. Others out there are probably going to be like, You thought that was scary? This terrified me. Thats an article entitled Making Citizen Science Inclusive Will Require More than Rebranding. Are we ready to talk about resilience? Thats exactly what youre seeing right now when you said you have people that are putting the rest of the world into, and Im doing my air quotes again, hard labor, or to just manipulate people. Yvette: Oh, were definitely in a pandemic. I dont want to eat meat and potatoes that are hamburger from McDonalds, thats what real Americans eat. Okay, so thats our steep category. Yvette: Yes. Hes probably doesnt leave his house. Frank: It turns out theres a good bit of that in these articles as well that the neuroscience idea makes a play. Can I just say that? Remember the Edgar suit? Yvette: When Im looking at my agenda or my priorities, I slate something like the arts and creativity less than I would something more quantitative or tangible. We should take a lesson from our history and do better the next time around. The organization was formed in a non-digital environment with non-digital assets. Yvette: You need hiker all the way for the win. A lot of them are monsters and aliens and things that go bump in the night. Yvette: Right, because while alien invasion is more of an image of the future and present that demonizes what is unknown and has it related to fear, this wicked opportunity is really about embracing the unknown as part of just the inherent nature of existence. Period. Well start with last months podcast. Yvette: Im just getting ready to pronounce some of the words in our wicked problem and wicked opportunity. Theres some amazing, amazing interviews. [00:29:54] Frank: Absolutely, so thats wonderful. To understand whats trying to transform alternative realities. At the time, I was sad about it. Yvette:I know we have to move on but I would also say that sometimes its in your best interest to not go via the C-suite, because ultimately implementing foresight requires that the rest of the organization buy into this and have their hearts and minds change.
