Preparing for tomorrowS
FREE web site: a unique, comprehensive tool in preparing for the dynamic challenges we face in a world in transition.
SITE OVERVIEW, FUNCTIONS, USAGE
The site provides a framework for identifying future work investments in multiple time dimensions.
Topic areas:- work life evolution
- life design
- organization evolution
- financial investing
- life navigation system
- foundations for future directed decisions
Collectively these topics can be seen as Time-life navigation ©
The site has over 500 pages of testable assertions, illustrations, examples from the news, snippets from books and articles, book tables of contents, and software usage examples. The site is largely based on the work of Peter Drucker, Warren Buffett, and Edward de Bono. They contrast each other.
It has top Google page rankings in more than 15 key searches such as "organization evolution."
The site provides a comprehensive system that addresses a core challenge in a DEVELOPING WORLD: How do we work on things that aren't on our radar. Which ones? When? How much lead time is needed? To complicate things even further, the content of our radar is time dependent—who had iPods on their radar 10 years ago? And then there are the things on our radar that need to be abandoned—probably before we want to. This abandonment is both a what and how issue (Buicks in China).
The site also illustrates a multi-generational work approach.
The site is intended to be used repeatedly as a blueprint for creating a work plan and mental radar enhancement tool.
The fundamental usage idea is to identify areas of work and sequence them. The resulting configuration presents a "picture" of one's developmental desires and direction.
The site has a companion blog (Bob Embry's Time-life navigation © (TLN) weblog) that primarily lists recent news events. These events act as a reminder of the constant flow of non-linear change—tomorrows that don't grow out of yesterdays. The blog provides a foundation and connection between current events and the concepts presented on the main site.
The very best time to begin working on identifying and sequencing future time investments is when there is no crisis or major time pressure.
PARTNERS & ENHANCEMENT
I'm looking for partners to help cautiously publicize and enhance this core economic and community development site.
There needs to be several simpler introductions for young people of different ages that lead up to a full treatment.
Also the underlying topic (adequate preparation for life in tomorrowS) needs to be integrated into the school system.
Judging from the many, many web sites I visit this is not happening and it doesn't seem to be on their radar.
I'm open to constructive suggestions.
SITE GUIDED TOURS AND DISCUSSIONS
As a part of conceptualizing and developing the site I have a prototype "CONCEPTS TO DAILY ACTION WORK FLOW APPROACH" that has wide application. The approach is comprehensive, modular and flexible. An overview of this system can be done very quickly over the phone or in a segmented fashion.
Also I'm available for segmented guided tours and to discuss "topics." This is a systematic way to spend time exploring work investments and their connections.
A main site entry page: life-TIME investment system
Since this introduction is inadequate for communicating the value of the suggested ideas, I'd be happy to discuss.
Best wishes
Bob
FYI: at some point I'm going to want to "institutionalize" this prototype site
