Introduction

Hi there!

I am "Searching for Unicorns", because like many futurists and investors I am always on the lookout for trends and sociological themes that may signal important new directions for society. I believe in the potential of technological change to alter the direction of the human race, though I consider myself a pragmatist (as opposed to optimist or pessimist) in that I think these changes can be both positive and negative. Innovation has the power to open new worlds to humanity, metaphorically and literally.

To learn more about futuring and innovation I have enrolled in a doctoral level class called, appropriately enough, "Futuring and Innovation". As part of the class I've begun this experimental blog, wherein I expect to share ideas and reflections on how innovation occurs, how groups can work together to best harness the exploratory power of each individual, and how members of society can infer the potential long-term directions that innovation may lead.

Looking forward to gazing in my crystal ball, hope you'll follow along on the ride!

The Future's So Bright... (Or Is It?)

On August 4 the majority shareholders of the company which controls the company that I work for issued a Schedule 13D to the Securities and Exchange Commission which suggested that they were open to a potential sale of the business or other alternatives (FitzGerald, 2023). The form, like most of its kind, was not conclusive, despite media interpretation to the contrary, the majority shareholders did not commit to a sale or to taking any action with respect to the company. All the same, the event caused me to engage in my own form of scenario planning, where in the past I had practiced traditional forecasting with respect to my prospects at the company. The process of scenario planning produces “a portfolio of future scenarios, each representing a different way your … landscape could look in a few years” (Wade, 2012). This approach does not attempt to evolve the current environment along known axes, rather it identifies a range of potential scenarios which might plausibly emerge given t...

History in Circles

Doomed to Repeat History? An electric vehicle was the bestselling car in the United States, 125 years ago (Standage, 2021) . In 1897 the Pope Manufacturing Company’s most popular model, the Columbia Motor Carriage, was outselling all other options for powered transportation. Electric automobiles had been in development since as early as 1832, when Robert Anderson built his first working electrified car (Department of Energy, n.d.) . Can you imagine how the world might have been different if the electric car, which at one point Thomas Edison and Henry Ford were working together to improve, had never been surpassed by the internal combustion engine? The companies producing electrified vehicles were ultimately undone by technological, economic, and cultural forces. First, the battery chemistry of the early 1900s was limited by the short range of travel that it allowed, with none other than Thomas Edison remarking that the “problem so far has been to build a storage battery of lig...
