Welcome to An Unscripted Future

Today our communities face leadership challenges and opportunities which bring an increased perception of personal responsibility and risk.

This is a time when each of us must exercise leadership to diagnose shifting situations and engage others in designing interventions that are less about achieving pre-defined outcomes, than they are about moving forward, collaboratively, toward approximate goals in an environment of increased, but managed, conflict and uncertainty.

These cycles of assessment/diagnosis, intervention and evaluation, within ever-shortening time horizons, are increasingly becoming the hallmark of our times and I welcome conversations about their impact on our lives.

Welcome to An Unscripted Future.

Partnering

I love the Global Strategy Institute’s Seven Revolutions site (see my Links of Interest). It helps me focus on issues that determine the quality of life where I live and connects me to a larger framework as I try to position that work and envision products/initiatives to larger systems that may support them.

This week seems to be shaping up as my local Seven Revolutions Week.

It began with a long-distance video conference with a consultant to The Next Chapter initiative, pulling a wide range of providers together to create a system to support older Wyandotte County citizens approaching retirement and providing access to information so they may make effective decisions affecting their quality of life. We've designed a survey, managed its distribution and have now collected extraordinary data which will help us to create the services necessary to assist them in their planning. Our challenge now is to activate partnerships throughout the region so we can work collectively to address issues and coordinate resources metropolitan-wide.
