Composting What No Longer Serves: Organizational Lessons for a Time of Reckoning
In a moment of cultural rupture—where authoritarianism is rising, polarization deepens, and public trust frays—organizations across sectors are grappling with a hard truth: many of our strategies, structures, and assumptions no longer serve us. The world is changing, but the ways we work often aren’t keeping pace.

Beyond Fairness: Seeding New Possibilities for Our Future
…when we talk about “fairness,” we might unintentionally limit our thinking to a transactional model—balancing scales, distributing harm, and managing resources. Fairness, as a frame, feels safe. But it’s also static. It doesn’t invite us to question the very systems that created the inequities we’re trying to address.

What the US Foresight Office Can Learn from the US Department of Arts and Culture – Part 2
In our first exploration of the lessons the U.S. Foresight Office (FOF) can learn from the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture (USDAC), we touched on the power of imagination, the importance of a people-centered approach, and the integration of arts and culture in creating a more futures-focused world. These elements are crucial, but as we delve deeper into the practices of the USDAC, we uncover even more profound insights that can help to inform the potential U.S. Federal Office of Foresight.
