Why sign up?

I try to write about two things a day which seem interesting, provocative, or resonant. Given my reading, these are mostly about economics, work, sustainability, technology, and bit of politics, with dashes from my futures thinking and some bits of culture thrown in from time to time.

About me? I have been a futurist since the turn of the century, and am currently Director of Futures at SOIF, the School of International Futures. I started Just Two Things to have a conversation, with myself and others, and others, about futures trends and practice.

I’m try to keep it reasonably topical, but not slavishly so. Feedback is welcome. I’m not planning to charge any time soon.

I monitor what’s happening out there—economics, technology, culture, climate—and write two notes on what catches my eye. The brief: interesting, provocative, resonant. With some analysis and context. Frequency: usually three times a week.
