Two Sides of the Future

Society is advancing. There is no doubt that we are moving faster and faster into truly staggering changes. But with every increase in scientific or technological knowledge there is a constructive and destructive potential.

We have run rather furiously at science and technology over the last 50 years and are only now starting to realize that many of the new discoveries and technologies we have espoused have really been out of control. Some of the more obvious examples of this dicotomy are nucle… Continue

Future Leadership

Rick Smyre, president of Communities of the Future, descirbes a new kind of leadership that is emerging. Rick is a former CEO and he has often shared with me how difficult it was for him to change his thinking and move away from traditional, top-down leadership approaches.


Take a look at this quote from the Communities of the Future website (leadership page) and visit the links below to get an idea of how Rick sees leaders

Where are We Going?

I'm not convinced that there is much clarity on a Brand for Indiana of the Future. Not what industries will we be invovled in, but what will we be known for? What will people think when they think of Indiana? Today, in terms of how people in other regions or cities see Indiana, I think they see corn fields. But I don't beleive that statement is a bash on our capabilities, it is a reflection of our long-term vision.


You see, when people have a clear vision to move forward, and they orga

Hey Bruce, thanks for the comment! I "see" you more virtually than I do in person these days!

Bruce!

Really enjoyed your speech at PK Night! I'm an avid yet amateur thinker/reader about the singularity - especially vis-a-vis AI- as well. Looking forward to diving into your blog on here.

Cheers!

Bruce, great to meet you in person. I still can't believe you're a South Central grad!

Been back to Elizabeth lately? With all that Caesars money they paved the roads, built a golf course by the high school (that's the road to my house btw - Old Dam 43 Road), etc. They've completely destroyed the mythology of my youth as growing up in the country. Nobody's going to believe that for a second when they turn left at the country club to head down fresh blacktop to get to your house!

Hi Bruce,
Dennis Mann suggested that I contact you to maybe get some ideas to improve website placement with web searches.
Thanks

Just a quick note to let you know that I'm bringing a life sciences conference to town. I was hoping you might share this announcement with others who might find attending this event of interest.

It's called Documentation and Training Life Sciences and it takes place June 23-26, 2008 at the Union Station Crowne Plaza in Indianapolis. Smaller Indiana members qualify for a $300 discount off the price of attendance. Educators can get an even bigger discount.

I have a flyer I can send you via email that you can send to folks who might be interested. Let me know if you can help me spread the word locally.

Thanks in advance.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
