The Johari Window: Exploring Futures from Four Different Angles —

The Johari Window: Exploring Futures from Four Different Angles — | T.I.P.S. Tracking - I-Wheel - "UC File" | Scoop.it
The future is a mix of what we know is coming, what we can anticipate but not fully see, what we overlook despite being right in front of us, and what blindsides us entirely. The Johari Window maps the future across these four lenses: the known, the uncertain, the overlooked, and the unimaginable.
James Schreier's insight:

Joel Barker's Strategic Exploration Tools work very closely with the concepts of the Johari Window.

Smart fabric monitors road conditions in real time

Smart fabric monitors road conditions in real time | T.I.P.S. Tracking - I-Wheel - "UC File" | Scoop.it
While it's certainly important to monitor the condition of paved roads, keeping an eye on the surface will only tell you so much. You also need to know what's going on with the underlying asphalt, which is where an embedded layer of electronic fabric is designed to come in.
James Schreier's insight:

Joel Barker would be very interested in this development.  This was one of the 100s of topics he followed regularly in terms of innovations.  Personally, it's also interesting to me because I did some management training for a paving organization.

Scientists propose monetary method to measure pain

Scientists propose monetary method to measure pain | T.I.P.S. Tracking - I-Wheel - "UC File" | Scoop.it
Pain is hard to measure. One person’s “ouch” is another’s agony. Now, scientists say they’ve found a better way of assessing pain: putting a price on it. By translating pain into dollars, they’ve created a more accurate, comparable way to measure suffering.
James Schreier's insight:

An interesting innovation -- personally because I'm asked to respond to this question regularly on visits to the VA.
