why reading future requires futuristic-literacy?

One half of the world leaders of sorts are always winning as they are always playing by the rules — the other half of the world leaders of sorts are always losing and not even aware that such rules exist. Compare any series of national indices and the proofs of such ratios are right there. Just like a gemologist can better appreciate the cut of a diamond. A mastery of global age understanding is a prerequisite to deciphering the unfolding of a multi-faceted future.

While on the other side, the age of abundance will continuously drown mediocrity and shred weaker business models. The constant overflow of great globally accessible and affordable ideas will crush parochial thinking and single-sided nationalism. The global-age culture will dominate and force reevaluation of everything. Superstar entrepreneurialism will be the most desired model. Nations of the world are keen on this new frontier.

We are at the 3rd Decade of the 3rd Millennium. After the big fanfare at the end of year 2000, the first decade of the new millennium brought questionable wars. The second decade followed with national calamities and massive bailouts. This 3rd decade is poised to either bring down major economies or catapult them back into their glory days. Both are possible but require deeper understanding of the new landscape and new rules apply.

Year 2000 is bygone era, now what special navigation skills are required in 2020 to 2030 journey?

How national mobilization of entrepreneurialism on digital platform economies will create the similar edge when websites discovered and the world-changed? This is very good news for trade organizations around the world.

How nations will call upon their own Trade Groups like Chambers and Trade Associations to dance of such digital platforms and attract global business as old models of exportability have almost failed? This is a revival to make Chambers and Associations vital parts of the active economy of any nation. Where trade wars failed internal skill wars will save economies.

How nations unable to justify poor economy occupy to blame restless citizenry and populism, while injustice, inequality, jobless, workless, officeless masses demand answers. A new culture of serious social-discomfort is emerging.

How global occupation with Impeachments and Brexit fiasco rightfully creates global uncertainly is impacting the grassroots prosperity of the world. The five billion connected are the largest mindshare ever collected will not buy fake-news and fake economies for long.

How massive automation will replace billion-plus white collar jobs demanding nations to prove capabilities on lifelong learning and transformation for economic advantage and stability. Confused nations will submerge in chaos and mental issues.

Imagine a stadium full of perpetually unemployed now multiply that with 10,000 stadiums:

Shouldn’t this be the time to ask what type of national debate should commence on this today, is this not the time for what are the real deploy-able solutions and why these are advanced levels of national mobilization way above what old style Ministries of Labor or HR department of the world could tackle.

All this combined has now created a new kind of cyclone on the horizon, something that the corporate nomenclature buzz and media pundits are still years away from finding the right ‘name’ for. The most skilled in global age entrepreneurialism and innovative excellence are trying to realign to face the new realities.

The cruelty of knowledge: Entrepreneurs are extremely knowledgeable in general and especially about their business models including their own innovative and weird ‘stuff’ after all it’s their super-creative ‘thing’. They are real experts. They are masters of their discipline. The so called unknown untested, unproven ‘stuff’ as this what’s called before the commercialization; from Penicillin, Electricity, Facebook to FedEx, often this ‘stuff’ is 1000 times more powerful and 1000 PhD combined. Study, Google, Apple or Kraft Cheese, and check out the top 10 entrepreneurs in any category anywhere in the world and you will see how their weird stuff was miles above other educated and well-trained experts and eventually resulted in something super special for our world.

Fact: Prime syllabi of any of the top MBA programs in the world today were once totally unknown subjects to universities; created and established by entrepreneurs of the time — from franchising, IT, e-commerce, social media, marketing, branding, customer relation, stock markets, mergers, and acquisition of knowledge. These concepts later adopted by smart academicians and MBA curriculum.

Feared for the above reason and kept at distance from bureaucracies and isolated at financial support points, entrepreneurs not only have survived the millennia their march will play a key role in grassroots prosperity during 2020 and 2030.

Entrepreneurs never stop working. They love it and live it round the clock. The chaos centric entrepreneurialism continues the march, leaving a cloud of dust for others to muddle through, bumping into each other and apologizing. This is how case studies recorded in the dust clouds as entrepreneurial footprints.

Entrepreneurialism when raw is rarely visible in behavior; when refined it becomes noticeable in achievements; when perfected it becomes the new standard for others to create new theories and invent terminologies. Everything is a work in progress, all the time and every day new ideas explored, added, evaluated and refined. Mistakes and errors compiled as experiences and as steps of advancements. Mistakes and errors are absolutely a no-no situation for non-entrepreneurial. On the journey to higher academic achievements, entrepreneurs realize very early that rather than becoming an advanced scientist in genomes, they will create a company today and hire the best genome experts who are already equipped with their doctorates in the subject. This represents a saving of a decade of study and when multiplied by the additional assembly of other highly trained qualified talent’s, become a saving of time equal to a life time.

Entrepreneurs venture on untraveled roads, enter dark tunnels and with no fear of possible train coming from the other side; they take chances, boldly and admit mistakes quickly, because they know that success often hidden in mistakes. Consider this — around the world today, most of the highly qualified, educated, and certified individuals are working for an entrepreneur. No single organization of any kind or any size anywhere in the world would exist without the deployment powers of entrepreneurialism at the helm.

Why are the alarm bells keep on ringing?
Why are the fears of unknown making leadership more silent?
Is it not the lack of action, lack of authoritative debates, and lack of courage to face the music?
Is it lack of entrepreneurialism to tackle with full force as if all this is just another normal day…?
