Gene Bellinger will present at the 126th ISSIP Service Innovation Weekly Speaker Series on June 8th at 7:30 am Pacific Time. His presentation is titled "Creating the Future: A Case for Virtual Collaboration" and will discuss why complex problems seem to get worse despite solutions, and how interconnected systems often create new issues. Bellinger will argue that we frequently exacerbate problems and that virtual collaboration may help address complicated, systemic challenges. The presentation aims to provide insight into why collaborative approaches are needed to create positive change.

Creating the Future: A Case for Virtual Collaboration
As aspects of the world become more and more interconnected the situations we attempt to deal with seem to
become ever more complex, and perceived to be ever more complicated. The approaches we come up with to
deal with situations often seem to make things worse, or create new problems we have to deal with in the
future. You've probably heard it said that the majority of today's problems are the direct result of yesterday's
solutions. In this presentation Gene Bellinger will endeavor to provide a sense of why, for the most part, we are
the poster children for Pogo's "We have met the enemy and he is us!"
This is our 126th
presentation… THANK YOU…
Please let me know if you did not have a chance to present your professional, research or education interests
