The University of Southern Indiana (USI) is the lead convener in a regional initiative to drive transformational change in Southwest Indiana. This initiative is centered on the recent construction of a segment of Interstate 69 and aims to foster the establishment of an Innovation Corridor from Evansville to Crane in Southwest Indiana. The vision is to develop a culture and environment that uses innovation to transform and sustain the dynamism of the regional economy. A consortium of over 200 stakeholders has been engaged in developing strategies to increase the region’s innovation index by 20% by 2025.

Alternative Narratives on Economic Growth: Prototyping Change at the System L...Kimberley Peter
This presentation was given at the Relating Systems Thinking and Design Symposium (RSD7), Turin, Italy, in 2018.
Abstract: Increasing inequality, rising social unrest, and climate change suggest new approaches to economic growth are needed. This project asked “How might reframing growth enable change to a more desirable alternative?” and used two primary approaches in the process of discovery. Causal Layered Analysis was used to understand the causes, processes, and outcomes of economic growth and alternatives to it. Three narratives were analyzed comparatively including the current growth-first narrative, an emergent participation narrative, and a speculative freedom narrative. Outputs from this analysis were used to reframe the economy and create an accessible and participatory role-play experience for stakeholders to explore how change might happen. Responses to the role play experience show how powerful a participatory approach can be and provide insight into engaging diverse stakeholders as participants in the future of the economy not just as receivers of economic policy. Proposals are presented based on candidate strategies generated through role play.

Presentation by David Wood of London Futurists at Transvision 2014, Paris, 20th Nov: Accelerating technology and increasing inequality. With Appendix slide covering Q&A at the event.
As part of its overall mission of promoting the well-being of humanity throughout the world, The Rockefeller Foundation developed the goal of advancing inclusive economies. The framing of this goal is deliberate: the word inclusive stresses the need to overcome disadvantage while the choice of economies versus growth suggests the need to consider all dimensions of economic life. This executive summary outlines efforts to develop a framework to better understand and measure the characteristics of an inclusive economy. It includes:
• The evolution of the concept of an inclusive economy
• Key lessons learned from an analysis of indicator initiatives
related to measuring an inclusive economy
• A recommended indicator framework composed of 5 broad
characteristics, 15 sub-categories, and 57 indicators
• Implications for future work

Seizing opportunities with AI in the cognitive economybaghdad
Citizens increasingly expect that they own their
own data.2
They also expect heightened service
standards and stewardship from Government.
Yes, most discussions around AI center around
the “potentially devastating negative use
cases and unintended consequences” but
leaders recognize that technology-inspired,
society-scale innovation now fueled by data
is (again) changing life as we know it.
Leaders also see similar patterns from the early
internet days and not only want to transform
the business of government, but to also enable
citizens to navigate the transition well and position
to seize the exponential opportunities of the
new era. All are now asking critical questions
regarding data and its nascent foundations:
• Who owns the ‘data’ in big data?
• Where does big data stop and privacy start?

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
