Topic: “Future Forecast – 2036: What Will The Future Bring Us?”
Thursday, November 19th, 2026 at 10:00 am to 11:30 am Pacific time.
In the November Virtual Water Cooler, let’s turn our attention to the future. The Institute for the Future recently published its Flash Forecast: Ten Quick Glimpses of the World of 2036, in which they challenge us to “to explore some of the high-probability changes already underway that could transform how we live, work, and make decisions over the next decade.” You can read the Flash Forecast here.
Please join us at the November Water Cooler to discuss the IFTF’s predictions, and share our thinking about how those predictions will affect us, our clients, our organizations, and our world if they come true. To prepare for this deliberation, please review that list and identify those predictions that you believe will have the most impact on you and those organizations you lead, manage, and support.
- Which three predictions are most relevant to you and why?
- What impact do you see if those are true?
- What are the greatest challenges you see coming from those predictions?
- How can you/we prepare to best meet those challenges?
- What outcomes should we strive for, and how would we achieve those desired outcomes?
This month, let’s talk about the future and its implications for the work we do.
Please join us and our colleagues at 10:00am (Pacific Daylight Time) on Thursday, November 19, 2026.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the Virtual Water Cooler!
