You can find my point-of-view on transhumanism. It is part of a series of articles on the topic on KedgeForward.
Hunome launched in private Alpha 1.1.2010
Hunome has launched in Alpha. I cannot believe it. I have not said anything about the launch on my blog. I guess that is because I’ve communicated it elsewhere. What is Hunome? It provides means for creating and enjoying short-cuts to insights about humanity. Who is it for? Those who need to understand what makes [...]
What makes humans unique?
Posted in: Humanity Tags: human, human condition, Humanity, nina rosenstand, species, unique
If we do not understand ourselves how can we hope to truly be in someone else’s shoes and have perspective? If we do not have perspective, how can we operate in a world of variation, even if ever so slight and seemingly insignificant? We like to display our uniqueness in many ways in amongst our [...]

We must remember that the future is neither wholly ours nor wholly not ours, so that neither must we count upon it as quite certain to come, nor despair of it as quite certain not to come. Epicurus, 341-270 b.C., Greek philosopher, Letter to Menouceus, The Essential Epicurus: Letters, Principal Doctrines, Vatican Sayings, and Fragments [...]

If you spent some time visiting several Fortune 500 web sites, how many of those do you think would clearly state their purpose and value to humanity? How many would have people in their brand somewhere? How many would talk about the passion they have for making the world a better place and how their [...]
Sleep, daily rhythms and gaining time
We behave in a particular way and then we say “I am like this….”, when in fact we’ve just created habits, which may be good ones or bad ones, but not impossible to change, if wished. Confession: “I am an evening person”, is nothing but a habit I’ve created for myself, believing my own gospel [...]

Consensual self-deception: An essential trouble with humanity
Last Friday at a dinner party chez Catherine and Hugues, Ron, a seasoned business man and a neighbour told us a story, which had its underpinnings in these six points from the book: LEADERSHIP AND SELF-DECEPTION from “THE ARBINGER INSTITUTE” 1) An act contrary to a feeling of what I should do for another person [...]

Vignette – how to on foresight – nay sayers and cynics
Posted in: Foresight Tags: Creativity, Foresight, Future, how to, human, Innovation, strategy, unusual sources
CONSULT UNUSUAL SOURCES, PEOPLE, AND PLACES–INCLUDING OUTLIERS, COMPLAINERS, AND TROUBLEMAKERS One important function of strategic foresight is the opening of the future. The inclusion of different perspectives is one way to assure this opening. Analysts should look for competent people inside and outside who bring a different way of thinking to the table.

Shift from intrapreneur to entrepreneur – again Once a change agent always a change agent. I had a good run with that at CSC and now it is time to pull all my paths together into Hunome, a business which has been brewing for a very long time. It combines my experiences and passions in [...]
Vignette – how to on foresight – people knowledge central
Posted in: Foresight Tags: decision-making, how to, human, Humanity, organization, people, psychology, sociocultural, sociology, strategy, sustainability, understanding
MAKE THE SOCIOCULTURAL CONTEXT CENTRAL Make the human context central to any strategic foresight activity. Do not be overly enamored with industry analysis, technology, or business trends and forget or overlook the role of people. Many activities produce impressive reams of data but haven’t thought through how the people affected would react or respond in [...]
Vignette – how to on foresight – fertile ground
SHIFT ATTITUDES TOWARDS RECEPTIVENESS TO CHANGE George Bernard Shaw said, “You see things and say ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and I say ‘Why not?’” It is important to cultivate receptiveness to the new: “Let’s try and understand this better.” The new disturbs existing comfort zones and positions and as a consequence [...]
Ageism on the net
Posted in: Foresight Tags: ageism, Belonging, Connecting, Future, human, Prosapience
I have been wondering whether I was the only one getting annoyed by some of the ageism on the net… Today I found out at the Enterprise 2.0 Future Exploration that no I am not the only one getting tired of this simplistic cop-out or even worse, ageism by hiring only those under 45, cause [...]
