"You spend most of your time thinking about what you should be doing today. But you should be focused on what you need to do tomorrow!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

I was down in Dallas yesterday, speaking to a group of senior executives at Deloitte University. What a wonderful facility for the sharing of knowledge!

My topic was, as you might expect, a bit of a reality check on the potential role and use of AI in the corporate world. I'll have lots of great content to share over the days to come.

But suffice it to say, I don't only speak - I listen. I heard a rough idea of this phrase from one of the Deloitte executives, directly after my talk. (

I don't remember the exact words - just the idea behind the words!) He was talking to the group about how their roles and responsibilities were changing quickly in the era of fast-moving AI technologies - and his words floored me.
So many of the people I speak to about trends and tomorrow are relentlessly focused on today. They don't know how to shift the activity in their minds from the pressing moments of the current moment to the even more pressing moment of the next moment. The result is that when the future comes along - WHAM! It hits them like a ton of bricks.

"I didn't see that coming!" is the typical response.

Phrases like this catch my attention - they help me to frame the reality of what is going on in our world today.

It's also the type of phrase that can get you thinking. The next time you start your day with your typical list of 'to-do'items, ask yourself if you have enough on that list that has to do with tomorrow!

Some good food for thought!

Futurist Jim Carroll's job is to think about tomorrow.

Suddenly #solar and #electric cars or utilizing public #transit doesn't look so stupid now, does it?

#Foresight saves you money by making you less reliant on the whims of billionaires and their political tools.

Just wait for the AI #datacenters and #Iran attacking oil infrastructure - $200 a barrel could happen by next week. Prices are about to go stratospheric - protect yourself and plan now.

Expressions are now open! It's gonna be amazing :)

Foresight as consolation - talk by IICADD director Rafael Ziegler on foresight and backcasting as tools in dystopian times, and what we can learn from philosopher Kant's pragmatic anthropology to engage in backasting for advancing freedom while taking into account the "crooked timber" of human beings.

Don’t overthink it. Set a timer so it stays quick. For example, one retail CEO noticed shipping tech patents early. That helped avoid supply chain issues.

Over time, this builds daily foresight habits. You’ll spot risks and opportunities faster. Then you can adjust before problems hit.

Key reminders:
Don't confuse options with opportunities. One retailer added too many fulfillment models and saw costs jump 30%.
Do set strict rules early. Amazon's two pizza teams method stops weak ideas early.

In two days, you'll narrow down to one or two strong options. You'll see clearer resource use and risk understanding.
