Catherine Mosbacher with the Center for Houston's Future presents two very different Scenarios for the future of H-Town. This is her powerpoint presentation. The videos on the two scenarios are separated out for you to view individually.
Sarasota Bradenton Strategic Doing Introduction June 2014Ed Morrison
- Strategic Doing is an approach to collaboration that focuses on open, honest, and caring partnerships between diverse groups to accomplish shared goals and build a prosperous future.
- People are interested in Strategic Doing because it provides a way to effectively collaborate and leverage assets to create new economic opportunities, especially as societies transition to more networked economies.
- The approach was developed based on lessons from Oklahoma City in 1993, where a collaborative recovery effort transformed the city after a bombing, and has also been applied successfully in other places.
5 Ralph Underhill (PIRC) 4 thoughts on es aproachnefcomms
Ralph Underhill provides 4 reasons why ecosystem services valuation may not be effective: 1) It is not actually possible to determine an objective monetary value for nature. 2) It undermines other arguments for protecting nature. 3) Putting a price on nature changes how people perceive and feel about it. 4) Valuation will not actually lead to better decisions about nature because the current decision-making system is flawed and will more easily disregard nature rather than protect it. The conclusion is that rather than fitting nature into the existing economic system, the decision-making system itself needs to be changed.
Florida High Tech Corridor Regional Leadership Conference April 2014Ed Morrison
Presentation at the 2014 High Tech Corridor Regional Leadership Conference
How can a region like the High Tech Corridor and the diverse communities that are a part of it keep up with rapid technological, economic and social change and still maintain its equilibrium? How can business leaders effectively collaborate with educational institutions, workforce boards, and nonprofits to better utilize the talents of our diverse workforce – one that includes everyone from millennials to seniors? What does Tampa Bay need to do – at the regional and local level – to ensure its future economic competitiveness? Spark Growth, Florida's High Tech Corridor, and the Tampa Bay Partnership explored these and other related issues in depth at The 2nd Annual Regional Leadership Conference April 10 and 11, 2014.
Florida's High Tech Corridor | April 2014Ed Morrison
The document discusses strategic doing and collaboration platforms to accelerate regional development. It provides examples of how strategic doing helped turn around economies in Oklahoma City and Kentucky. Regions are encouraged to think differently, behave differently and do differently by creating collaboration platforms to link assets, form networks, and support initiatives. The goal is to build ecosystems and inspire leaders to dream bigger and do more.
This document discusses social impact bonds, which are an innovative financing mechanism. Social impact bonds allow governments and donors to commission social services from impact-driven organizations, which are paid by investors based on outcomes. Nearly 50 social impact bonds are currently operating worldwide, addressing issues like homelessness, health, employment, and recidivism. For social impact bonds to flourish, there needs to be a focus on measuring outcomes, innovation, and cultural shifts toward evidence-based interventions.
World-wide there is a loss of water. This document describes the loss and consequences of it in economical point of view, looking for opportunities to solve the loss.
Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) provides disaster preparedness and recovery resources to New York citizens through its CCE NY EDEN program. As part of the national EDEN network, CCE NY EDEN uses research-based extension education to reduce disaster impacts. The program coordinates with various state and federal agencies, and ensures CCE can respond to local education needs during crises through its multidisciplinary team of professionals.

Nations have agreed to policies and targets through climate summits to cope with climate impacts, but there are gaps in adaptation efforts. Recent studies show gaps in funding, technology, and knowledge for adaptation. Developing economies will face greater impacts even if emissions are stabilized. Bridging these adaptation gaps requires urgently scaling up efforts, as costs are estimated at $70-100 billion annually for developing countries alone. Technological and knowledge gaps also need addressing through research and sharing between developed and developing nations. A global framework is needed to distribute adaptation challenges and goals equitably across regions.
Sustainability and the Christchurch rebuildDavid Thompson
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 96 people interested in sustainability and its role in the rebuilding of Christchurch, New Zealand after the 2011 earthquakes. The survey found that over 90% felt sustainability should have a major influence on the rebuild and that decisions need to be made urgently. However, most respondents believed sustainability would have limited impact due to a lack of understanding among decision-makers and the wider community. While interest in sustainability increased initially after the quakes, understanding remains low. The document concludes there is an urgent need to improve understanding of sustainability and provide leadership to ensure it guides the rebuild.
This document provides an overview and discussion of a new book and initiative called From Poverty to Power by Oxfam. The book reflects on the state of global development and aims to start a conversation among current and next generation development leaders. It discusses a vision of empowering communities worldwide with education, health, rights, and voice. While inequality is falling in some countries, it is rising in many others. The document explores challenges in development work around issues like inequality, religion, urbanization, effective states, migration, humanitarianism, accountability, and institutional change. It promotes using new media like YouTube to engage broader audiences on these topics.
Communicating the importance of housing to and in our communities is key to our success as advocates. The Housing Alliance and local and national partners have worked hard to develop communications skills, techniques, and common messages. Come hear the latest in our thinking about what works, how to inspire passion for housing opportunity, how to elevate diverse voices, and our tools and plans for helping you be the strongest possible advocates for housing.

The document discusses the need to change the way recycling is communicated to the public. It notes that the recycling industry is facing challenges, and people are confused by inconsistent recycling systems and instructions. While most people want to recycle, they lose interest if it is not easy or convenient. The document recommends focusing messaging on how recycling saves money and creates jobs rather than technical terms. It suggests using simple language, positive messages, and engaging formats like social media to clearly explain recycling and make it easier for people to participate.
Responsible Humans: Identifying Community Leadershipcoburnj
This document discusses a unique social experiment in New Zealand that aims to develop truly sustainable community resilience. It outlines tools and strategies for motivating communities to become self-aware and responsible in disaster preparedness. These include identifying community leaders, developing sustainability through community ownership and empowerment, and providing tools to equip communities with the skills and resources they need to be resilient. The overall goal is to create communities that can effectively manage disasters and emergencies from within through distributed leadership and responsibility.
These slides have been produced for MobiMOOC a free Massive Open Online Course as part of the week 3 theme on MHealth. See http://mobimooc.wikispaces.com/Mobile+health+%28mHealth%29 The slides will also be made available as well.

Lending Circles demonstrate the ingenuity and resilience of communities that are outside of mainstream banking. Lending Circles have long been used in different communities across the world as an alternative way to support savings or provide an emergency reserve to meet community needs. Here in the US, lending circles are beginning to receive more and more attention as a tool that works for a range of communities. Join us to learn how Lending Circles work and hear from organizations in the Pacific Northwest that have started Lending Circles.

The document discusses several topics related to policymaking in the UK, including:
1) The UK achieves mid-level rankings on governance but spends less on public services than comparable countries. Departments also have high levels of budget control.
2) Concerns about issues like crime, the economy, and immigration have changed over time. People also tend to overestimate risks like crime.
3) Non-economic factors like social relationships strongly impact well-being, but these are often not properly measured or valued. Behavioral insights can also influence policy.
4) While economic growth does not always increase happiness, countries like Denmark seem to have found a formula for higher well-being through

This document discusses how Houston has emerged from the recession stronger than other major cities and is poised to become a global city. It provides statistics showing Houston's economy remained strong through the recession with steady job and population growth. Specifically, Houston had relatively shallow job losses in the recession compared to other large cities and has recovered jobs faster than most peer cities. The document argues Houston is well-positioned for continued growth due to its diverse economy, low costs, business-friendly environment, and focus on key industries like energy and healthcare.
This document lists and describes 10 top shopping streets in the United States. Fifth Avenue in Manhattan is highlighted as a "veritable shopper's paradise" with luxury brands like Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman. Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas features shopping centers inside major casinos. M Street NW in Washington D.C. is known for clothing politicians and lobbyists with brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren.

Dokumen tersebut membahas tentang sistem ekonomi, terdiri dari penjelasan mengenai empat sistem ekonomi yaitu tradisional, liberal atau pasar, komando atau terpusat, dan campuran. Sistem-sistem tersebut dibedakan berdasarkan cara produksi, distribusi, dan konsumsi serta peran pemerintah dan pasar dalam perekonomian.
This document provides an introduction to the field of futures studies. It discusses how futures studies aims to systematically explore possible and desirable futures in order to improve decision making. Key methods discussed include scenario planning, roadmapping, and trend analysis. The document outlines various time horizons and subject areas studied by futurists, such as technology, environment, economy and society. It also discusses differences between prediction and forecasting, and compares various qualitative and quantitative futures studies methods. The overall purpose of futures studies is to help organizations and societies envision and plan for potential alternative futures.
On the streets, on social networks and at the ballot box, people are voicing their discontent. They are worried about the environment. They are demanding social equality. They are advocating for better living and working conditions. And they are reacting to perceived institutional injustices. In short, they are angry at their leaders and they are making sure their voices are heard. This is not about a handful of radicals shouting from the wilderness. What we are witnessing is a massive shift in the ‘middle’. Indeed, the voices on the fringes of these issues largely remain shrill and extreme. What is changing is the quiet chorus of voices that make up the middle ground (i.e., the average voter).
For many governments, this upswelling of discontent could not be happening at a worse time. Public budgets are highly constrained (either by debt or by borrowing limits). Technologies are rapidly changing. New risks are emerging. And planning is becoming infinitely more complex. The pace of response from governments is proving to be inadequate.
Rhodri davies technology and future challenges facing charitiesrhoddavies1
This document discusses the current and future disruptive technologies that could impact charities and civil society organizations. It outlines several technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and augmented reality, that could create new ways for CSOs to achieve their missions but also generate new problems to address. The document then examines both the potential benefits and risks of these technologies, such as how AI could help with charitable causes but also raise issues like algorithmic bias. It considers many ways technology could affect inequality, data use, virtual environments, and other areas of concern for charities in the coming years.

The Innovation team at the RNLI held a workshop using foresight techniques to explore potential future scenarios and develop strategic questions. Attendees prioritized key trends and insights that could impact the RNLI. They then created narratives describing how the RNLI could operate in future contexts. From these, the team generated questions about how the RNLI could adapt, such as how to identify future communities, collaborate with other organizations, and add value. These questions will inform a new foresight program to guide RNLI strategy.

World Futuer Society talk on the Global Situation and Prospects for the FutureJerome Glenn
This document discusses global challenges and prospects for the future. It outlines 15 major global challenges facing the world today, such as sustainable development, clean water access, climate change, and more. It presents the current situation for each challenge as well as the desired situation. It then discusses the development of a Global Futures Intelligence System to help address these challenges through collective intelligence and ongoing analysis. This system would gather input from experts worldwide and use tools like forecasting models to study long-term global trends and produce just-in-time knowledge to help with decision making. The goal is for this system to help "win the race" between implementing solutions and the increasing complexity of global problems.
Presented by Jerome Glenn
How do we handle the world’s major challenges? This session will provide a framework to better understand global change and what is strategic for the future of civilization. Worldwide synergies and cross-impacts will be cited among sustainable development, climate change, water, demographics, democratization, ICT, development gaps, health and disease, global foresight and decision making, conflict and security, gender relations, organized crime, energy, S&T, global ethics, and education.
The keynote address discusses the opportunities and dangers presented by the current economic crisis in Michigan and Detroit. It argues that racial inequity still shapes opportunities and outcomes, and that the crisis presents a chance to rebuild in a more inclusive way that provides high quality opportunities for all. The crisis can be addressed through strategies like inclusive stimulus planning, equitable foreclosure relief, improving undercapitalized cities and regions, and ensuring all neighborhoods and schools provide high quality opportunities.
This document discusses several scenarios and issues related to cognitive enhancement technologies. It outlines different methods of cognitive enhancement, including internal techniques like drugs as well as external hardware and software. It also examines the potential economic and societal impacts, including both benefits like reduced losses and costs from increased competition. While cognitive enhancement could grow the economy and help the worst off, it may also increase inequality in the short term and disrupt competitive domains. The risks are manageable in the near term with research and policies to promote widespread access.
The document discusses the changes and challenges of information technology. It covers topics such as technological changes leading to a more globalized and connected world. This brings economic changes as industries converge and business models are disrupted by new technologies. It also discusses social changes as societies move towards more open knowledge and engagement through technologies like social media. However, information technology also faces challenges like dealing with excess workload with lower budgets, finding qualified talent, managing outsourcing and offshoring, and navigating cultural differences in a global workplace under constant technological change.
The structural forces of changing demographics, environmental challenges, economic shifts, and advancing technologies are interacting in complex ways and exacerbating fragmentation, disequilibrium, and contestation at all levels of human organization. This is producing a more contested and uncertain world characterized by intensifying global challenges, growing divisions within societies and states, and a more competitive international system strained by rising tensions between major powers. How these dynamics unfold and how human actors respond will determine the trajectory between more optimistic or pessimistic scenarios for the future, from a renaissance of democracies to separate ideological silos. Adaptation to these forces of change will be imperative for all communities, states and the international system.
The structural forces of changing demographics, environmental challenges, economic shifts, and advancing technologies are interacting with human responses to shape emerging dynamics at the societal, state, and international levels. This is creating disequilibrium that is fueling greater contestation within communities, between states, and across the international system. How these dynamics unfold and interact over the next two decades will determine the trajectory of the global order in 2040, with scenarios ranging from a democratic renaissance to separate spheres of international influence. Adaptation to these forces of change will be imperative for all actors.
1. The document discusses responding to a changing environment and the challenges public services face in balancing short-term pressures with long-term objectives on issues like aging, health, education and the environment.
2. It outlines key drivers of change like changing demographics, technology, the economy and workplaces that will impact public services and presents scenarios for Ireland and the public service in 2022.
3. The document questions whether public services are "fit for purpose" and ready to handle different challenges and opportunities in the future given these drivers of change.
The document discusses how globalization impacts economies and societies. It defines globalization as the increasing interconnectedness between countries through advances in transportation, communication, and multinational corporations. While globalization can raise living standards through more trade and investment, it can also widen income gaps and threaten local cultures. It also examines Singapore's strategies for remaining competitive in a globalized world, such as economic diversification, supporting small businesses, and expanding abroad.
The document summarizes insights from multiple expert discussions around the world on the future of philanthropy. It identifies three main drivers that will shape philanthropy over the next decade: power, knowledge, and trust. Power will be more fluid as new groups gain influence. Knowledge and data-driven approaches will increase but emotional giving will still be important. Trust must be built through integrity, reliability, and competence. Digital technology and long-term collaboration are seen as ways to create more impact.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.
The document discusses global and US economic trends and statistics. It provides GDP forecasts for various countries from the IMF and notes current positive factors in the US economy like job and employment growth. Specific data is given on job growth and numbers in various US states and metro areas like Houston which is shown to be experiencing strong growth in jobs, home sales, prices and construction permits. Charts show trends in economic indicators over time. Offshore buyers of US commercial real estate are also summarized with top countries and destination metro areas.
The Buffalo Bayou Partnership was established in 1986 to revitalize and transform Buffalo Bayou, which is Houston's most significant natural resource. It consists of over 2,500 miles of watersheds and bayous. Since its establishment, the Partnership has raised over $100 million, with 80% of that coming since 1995, to fund major capital projects like Sesquicentennial Park, Sabine Promenade, Allen's Landing, and Buffalo Bend Nature Park. Current projects include expanding the East End Trail, cleaning programs, and transforming 160 acres into Buffalo Bayou Park, an urban park visited by 500,000 people within 30 minutes of downtown Houston.
This document compares two locations, highlighting their strengths in energy, technology, healthcare, manufacturing, exports, renewable energy production, electricity markets, jobs, diversity, and cost of living. It also describes an accelerator program focused on energy and water technologies, noting its results in investments, pilots/customers, jobs created, and global recognition. The document argues that energy demand will increase significantly with population growth, industries are decentralizing enabled by software and data availability, and now is the time for entrepreneurs to solve challenges in these areas. It poses the question of which location will win and asks the reader to invest, get involved, and take action.
The document includes photos and maps related to the NAU Center for Texas Cultural Heritage. The photos show aerial and street views of the center and surrounding area.

This document discusses how Houston is poised to become the next great global city. It highlights Houston's steady job growth and economic recovery since the recession, with the metro area outpacing other large cities in the US in jobs recovered. Charts show growth in key economic indicators for Houston such as vehicle sales, building permits, and home sales. The energy industry continues to be an important driver for Houston, as shown in charts on oil production and gas prices. However, the document also notes Houston is working to diversify its economy beyond energy. It concludes by identifying seven emerging themes that will be important for Houston's further development as a leading global city, including education, transportation, quality of life, economic drivers, and its increasing diversity.
In 2012, there were 14 billion instances of online piracy of movies and TV shows. As cable operators focus only on broadband, content owners may have to sell directly to consumers or through online outlets. Netflix has 29 million subscribers while Aereo allows online viewing of broadcast channels. If cable loses content, they can still charge for internet access. Satellite TV providers like Dish and DirecTV do not offer broadband. Google Fiber expands ultra-fast internet and Chromecast gives Google user viewing data to sell to advertisers. Netflix subscribers equal Time Warner Cable's while paid TV lost 1 million subscribers in the last year.
The document summarizes key findings from 32 years of surveys tracking the economic and demographic transformations in Houston. It finds that Houston has shifted from a primarily industrial economy to a more diverse one focused on services and technology. Demographically, the region has become vastly more diverse, with declining white populations and rapid growth of Hispanic and Asian communities. Younger generations are more accepting of diversity and see the increasing diversity as strengthening culture. The surveys show residents are optimistic about jobs but concerned about inequality. Overall, Houston has maintained its economic optimism while undergoing significant cultural and demographic changes.
Mexico is experiencing strong economic momentum and is well positioned to become an economic power. It has the potential for significant real estate investment and development over the coming decades to accommodate its growing population and urbanization. Mexico will see major population and household growth between 2012-2030 as it reaches its peak household formation rate, requiring an estimated 730,000 new homes per year to meet demand. Key opportunities exist in developing housing, commercial properties, and offices to support Mexico's expanding urban areas and workforce.
The document announces an upcoming REALTOR® Celebration event on December 13th at the Houston Country Club to welcome the new chairman, honor award recipients, and install new board members, with festivities beginning at 5:30pm, and encourages registering for the event.

- Texas has one of the lowest state and local tax burdens in the nation, ranking 45th out of all states based on 2010 data. The average Texan paid $3,104 in state and local taxes that year.
- Texas ranked 6th among states for the number of "green jobs" related to clean energy in the third quarter of 2012, a higher ranking than the previous two quarters, according to an analysis by Environmental Entrepreneurs.
- Hundreds of HAR members attended the second annual BIG e technology and marketing event at CityCentre in Houston on October 25, as captured in a video by HAR
