Motivated by John Lewis to keep up good trouble

[SF Bay Area Zebras @zebras_sf]

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.”
- John Lewis

The Omidyar Network's @OmidyarNetwork new Ethical Explorer pack w/ a Field Guide & Tech Risk Zones is a great tool in this arena "to help navigate the future impact of today’s technology"! https://t.co/o6puQndFEs

4/ We know that for those leading this work, raising their hand and pushing back, it can feel like you’re an isolated pioneer. We know not every company welcomes these conversations.

That’s why #EthicalExplorer includes language to help you make the case (& stickers bc cute!)

[Joe Murphy - grounded Futurist @MBAForesight]

What tools/frameworks to explore ethical impacts of tech have impressed you?
Foresight’s Implications Analysis is great yet ethics aren’t built in.
McLuhan’s classic Tetrad scratches the surface.
Business Ethical Reasoning isn't rigorously future tense.
What are you leveraging?

[Joe Murphy - grounded Futurist @MBAForesight]

Facebook has foresight strategists in house, so why was it not prepared for the boycott & civil rights report? My 1st assumptions for how this happened: placement & access. Was the team not in a reporting line to address & influence these core areas?
Surely they saw them coming.

So invigorating to revisit/refresh foresight methodologies w/ the APF’s Knowledge Base of Futures Studies. To me, this geography of futures studies is so powerful now w/ the increasing demand for rigorous futures work & opportunities to use foresight tools for good

I learned a lot from @arlanwashere’s It's About Damn Time- a highly recommended book in my post-MBA reading https://t.co/iyAVIlqprC

It snuck up on me, inspiring me in my work, esp w/ @Zebras_Unite, & shares wisdom atop its value as memoir + info in the VC domain.
