Inventing the Future: How to Build a Brand-Specific, Future-Focused Innovation Portfolio_Sommers
In this provocative and illuminating presentation, Cecily demonstrates the models and processes by which you can become your very own futurist. Participants will leave not only understanding how change shapes markets and society, but how to manage long-term thinking and innovation in an environment that demands delivery today. The audience will learn • How the brain, business, and government are wired for the "Permanent Present" and resist change • The Four Forces of Change that are constant and predictable • Three dramatic disruptions on the horizon that should be a part of every strategic conversation • How to put a stake in a proprietary territory that is yours to invent and own Finally, Cecily wraps it up with practical instructions for maintaining an innovation portfolio that plans on the far and future, while delivering on the near and now.

Editor's Notes
- There’s a way forward no matter the circumstances, a path of your own to carve out and a future to invent. The obstacles: short-term rewards in business and government. Hard to stay the course! And there’s nothing like hard times to make people contract and think only of the short-term.
- Study change and its implications for business and government. Why? – decisions with the most impact, and the most short-sighted.
- No predictions, but here’s what I can tell you: Watch the things that never change! Human society is shaped by 4 fundamental forces Change occurs in predictable ways, the Laws Human nature is constant And that includes a tendency to be very poor futurists! We live in the present, like short-term rewards, and have brains that project current conditions on the future. These principles are universal and can be applied to any sector, geography, industry or time in history

- One of the few ways to gain proprietary advantage and remain profitable - for the long haul! The future is our permanent address (and greatest asset) Managing the physics of execution and growth just gets you in the game (good isn’t good enough)! Increasingly, innovation is the competitive landscape - the realm of values and ideas
- MIT engineers have outfitted cells with tiny "backpacks" that could allow them to deliver chemotherapy agents, diagnose tumors or become building blocks for tissue engineering.
