By DANIEL RASMUS [The Future of Information Work] – I was watching the Kennedy assassination recently through the eyes of AMC’s Mad Men. Although I was very young, I recall through years of personal testimony by friends and relatives, that loosing Kennedy was a shock to a set of predictions that people made about their future, and the future of the world. No one foresaw the random act of violence that cut short a Presidency. I can safely say that in this event, only the outliers were right. Scenarios are about embracing the outliers as a part of the analysis, not exclusively, but also not disregarding them because they are outliers.
With these twelve events, we have the ability to think about them as things to prepare for, things to prevent. They may not occur in the lifetime of any of this blog’s readers, or they may occur tomorrow—or they may fail to ever occur. There is, however, a relational link in many of them between preparation and eventuality. In some cases we own the trigger, as humans, between a future reality and speculation. In all cases, we own our reaction to them.
