The PhD in Futures Studies
Jun 27, 2008
Over the past 50 years, organizational research by academics has buttressed the practice of futures studies and produced many of its strategy approaches, such as environmental scanning and scenario development. These breakthrough methods have created a thriving community of practicing and professional futurists. Yet the pursuit to find a disciplinary home for futures studies in the university has lagged. This paper explores how a PhD in Futures Studies, if refocused on theory-building could create anticipatory theories across the social sciences, and buttress the work of a new generation of futurists. This is the premise behind a paper I am presenting on July 2nd to the World Futures Studies
Federation, in Sweden.

Say it isn't so
Jun 18, 2008
Last Friday I was shocked to hear that NBC's Meet the Press anchor Tim Russert died of a heart attack. I told my wife, 'Say it isn't so!' I've always enjoyed his political analysis and tough edged interviews. But now after five days of narcissistic coverage on MSNBC, Russert must be turning over in his grave and muttering, 'Say it isn't so!'

The Future According to Jesus
Jun 13, 2008
How did Jesus approach his future? How did the changes of his day impact his horizon? What can we learn from his context that will help us create a more sustainable future? I've been thinking about these questions for some time. Recently Futures journal published a scholarly article I wrote on this subject.

It's All Wright?
Apr 29, 2008
Yesterday I caught Rev. Jeremiah Wright's speech to the National Press Club. As grounded as Wright appears to be in the prophetic tradition of speaking truth to power, he has fallen from his perch. The question remains, will Obama act as a transformational leader to take us beyond the All-Wright show. Or will presidential leadership on race and diversity now come from Clinton or McCain.

To Be or Not Be Global?
Oct 15, 2006
My dean and colleague, Dr. Bruce Winston, writes that we have already become global in all we do—day in and day out. Beyond that, global business, not just governments, are now becoming the greater moderators of whether our world makes it through the 21st century. So global leadership is about using principles for both the employee and the organization, that build both markets and communities. If you are interested in leading sustainable enterprises, catch this article.

McCain Embraces Christian Zionist
Mar 8, 2008
Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain has openly embraced the endorsement of controversial televangelist John Hagee, the founder of Christians United for Israel in San Antonio, Texas. Hagee has come under criticism for his extreme views on Islam, Israel, and the Catholic Church. Could one-sided support by Christians for Israel end-up jeopardizing the security of America and Britain? Many see Bush's unilateral support for Israel in this light. Would McCain be any different? Catch this DVD I produced, entitled, Christian Zionists: on the road to Armageddon" by Dr. Stephen Sizer, an English vicar and historian. Visit website.

The Call of the Entrepreneur?
Oct 24, 2007
Filmmakers have unleashed a flurry of short documentaries. The latest is the Call of the Entrepreneur. This film tells stories of people who risk their savings, bet on the farm, and defy conventional wisdom. How we view them, whether greedy or altruistic, shapes not only free markets, but shapes the role of government, the rule of law, the role of philanthropy, and the wealth-creating capacity of inventions. I just saw a screening of this DVD, produced by Acton Institute. Catch the 4 minute trailer, and make up your own mind. [ Visit Website ]
