Planning Upheaval
Written on 10 June 2008 by Bruce LaDukeTraditional strategic planning is based on the premise that we can forecast the future of the business with a reasonable level of certainty. More and more, this premise is breaking down for companies and whole industries.
The traditional 3-5 year planning cycles in most businesses is like a cornerstone of American industry, but I’d argue that it’s days are numbered and that even now its effectiveness is breaking down across all industries.
HyperAdvance - Cirilab Summary
Written on 10 May 2008 by Bruce LaDuke
I exported the content of HyperAdvance and ran Cirilab Speed Read across all of this content. I’ve paraphrased the key themes it gleaned from this blog:
- Knowledge creation.
- Social Acceptance (of new knowledge).
- Questions, anti-knowledge (collective questioning), and theory.
- Knowledge creation is pervasively confused with learning.
- Cooperative knowledge working.
- Cooperative knowledge working is distinct from knowledge management.
- Society needs to become aware of the roles that contribute uniquely to the building of the global intellect.
- Knowledge interactions cannot stand on their own, they must exist within the context of all other knowledge interactions.
- At any given moment, society has a developing and growing ‘common sense’ on every topic that is known.
- Polanyi was trying to describe the question which is as pervasive as knowledge itself.
This tool is excellent for helping to more clearly understand what has been written. In my opinion, it is the strongest semantic web tool that exists today.

A Treatise on Futuring
Written on 10 February 2008 by Bruce LaDukeNote: Before reading this posting you might want to review Futuring - Part I as an overview of what futuring is and why it exists. I’ll be expanding on the posting below to create Part II of this paper.
As I see it, within the futuring community there are these divisions:
- Forecasters, scanners, and trend watchers
- Emergent Transformers
- Systemic Future Decision-Making
- Integral and Cooperative Transformers
