How to Predict the Future(s) | Jeremy Pesner | TEDxHerndon
The future is unknowable, but that doesn't mean we can't prepare for it. Futures studies provides methods and perspectives to envision different versions of the future. This field can help any person or organization to plan strategically for black swan events and other future developments that transform the world as we know it.
Want to change the world? Consider Baltimore…
"Those of us at Baltimore Corps know Baltimore is 'the best place in the world to change the world.' ...
"Baltimore is ripe for social innovation and has the potential to emerge as a city at the forefront of dismantling systems of oppression. We understand that this will not happen without a clear focus on the principles that lead to enduring change: by empowering those closest to the problems facing our communities, shifting how we deploy resources, and remembering that positive impact requires collaboration at all levels, we are well on our way to making this a reality. In 20 years, we envision a city that disrupts the intergenerational cycle of poverty and inequity that has locked out entire communities from opportunity for generations. We invite you to be part of this history-in-the-making."
