Unlocking Tomorrow: The Metalogic Futures Model for Radical Change
Are you ready to move beyond "business as usual" and truly transform your organization or community? In this episode, we explore the groundbreaking "metalogic futures model". Developed by Fleener, Vojnovich, and Berardinelli, this framework offers a powerful approach to navigating our complex, "postnormal times"—a world grappling with global warming, conflict, and the rise of AI.
This isn't just about predicting the future; it's about actively creating transformational change. The model is built on three crucial pillars:
The "metalogic futures model" also accounts for Inayatullah's Futures Typology, recognizing different levels of "readiness" to engage with the future. From those who want to "recreate the castle" (Tomorrow 1) to those seeking "a new kind of kingdom" (Tomorrow 3), the framework provides a "scaffold" for engaging diverse perspectives and fostering conversations that push beyond risk mitigation to genuinely "create new visions" for possibilities. It emphasizes the importance of diverse voices, sustained recursive conversations, and creating "protected spaces for innovation" to support radical change.
Join us to learn how this framework can guide efforts for radical organizational and social transformation, helping us address the "unknown unknowns" and shape a more sustainable future for individuals, organizations, and society. We'll even touch on real-world examples of organizations like Netflix and IBM that have successfully navigated profound transformations.
