Jeremy Rifkin videos: the empathic civilization, and the third industrial revolution. Must watch!

I have been busy reading Jeremy Rifkin's amazing book The Third Industrial Revolution as well as his other writings (check out his Huffington Post pieces), and wanted to share some of his key videos and resources with you.

His current, and maybe most important topic is the coming convergence of Internet technology and digital communications with energy and environmental issues - the idea of an Internet of Energy. Because of my recent expansion into what I call GreenFutures this concept has really struck a chord with me.

Jeremy Rifkin is president of the Foundation on Economic Trends and the author of seventeen bestselling books on the impact of scientific and technological changes on the economy, the workforce, society, and the environment. One of the most popular social thinkers of our time, Rifkin is the bestselling author of The European Dream, The Hydrogen Economy, The Age of Access, The Biotech Century, and The End of Work.

Here is a video of his recent appearance on the Charlie Rose show:

 

Jeremy Rifkin, 'The Third Industrial Revolution' "How lateral power is transforming energy, the economy, and the world." Charlie Rose 06.01.12 [1080p] http://www.charlierose.com/guest/view/7302

At a recent RSA event in London:

 

Join Jeremy Rifkin as he describes how the five-pillars of the Third Industrial Revolution will create thousands of businesses and millions of jobs, and usher in a fundamental reordering of human relationships, from hierarchical to lateral power, that will impact the way we conduct business, govern society, educate our children, and engage in civic life.

Nice portuguese summary of my work: video by RodaViva / TVCultura Brazil

I had the great pleasure of being a guest at the RodaViva TV-show in Brazil in 2o10, and they just published a nice summary of it, a few weeks ago. The full 77 minutes can be watched here.

This clip is only about 2 minutes long so if you speak Portuguese give it a go for a quick fix on what I do.  Obrigado!

Thomas Friedman video on 'that used to be us': must-watch for everyone in the U.S.!

A lot of really great insights here on what is going wrong in America, from technology to education to innovation. I don't agree with all of it but his talk (and the book "That used to be us") is brilliant, no doubt.

From Youtube: "Reid Hoffman introduces, again, three time Pulitzer Prize winner and author of That Used To Be Us, Thomas Friedman.Mr. Friedman was our first inDay speaker and our first to return. He won the 2002 Pulitzer Prize for commentary, his third Pulitzer for The New York Times after becoming the paper's foreign-affairs columnist in 1995. Previously, he served as chief economic correspondent in the Washington bureau and the chief White House correspondent previously. In 2005, Mr. Friedman was elected as a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board and now spends time looking to recognize others for transformative work.

El suizo GerlLeonhard, líder futurólogo experto en modelos de comercio electrónico, medios de comunicación e innovación fue el encargado del cierre de la Primera Cumbre Nacional de Contenidos Digitales, Colombia 3.0, realizada por el Ministerio TIC entre el 5 y el 8 de octubre. Después de cuatro días de análisis en los que se reunieron emprendedores, inversionistas, animadores, desarrolladores de aplicación y representantes de la industria de los contenidos digitales del mundo terminó Colombia 3.0.

Bogotá 7 de octubre de 2011.En su intervención GerlLeonhard, realizó un detallado análisis de los cambios que han sufrido los medios tradicionales al migrar a los medios sociales como Facebook, Twitter y otras redes sociales. Además,Leonhard anotó que en la actualidad se vive una cultura de la banda ancha y son los “prosumidores”, consumidores activos, los que producen contenidos digitales.

 Mencionó el experto suizo que el mundo digital está regido por la relevancia y no solamente por la distribución, según Leonhard, los contenidos digitales deben ser depurados antes de ser distribuidos a los distintos públicos y subrayó que la nueva economía digital que se está viviendo en la actualidad debe iniciarse desde Internet y especialmente desde los dispositivos móviles. Anotó también Leonhard, que el usuario es quien genera los contenidos digitales en la actualidad através de distintos dispositivos móviles. En su intervención, señaló además que la tendencia actual se desarrolla a través de lo móvil, lo social y lo local. Ademásindicó, en este sentido,que para el 2015se esperaque 7.1 trillones de dispositivos móviles sean usados en el mundo.

The Future of Business in the Open Economy (video of my presentation at the Fundacao Dom Cabral, Brazil)

This is a rather lengthy (but worth it, I hope:) 90 minute+ video of my June 23, 2010 presentation on "New Insights: The Future of Business - trends, future scenarios and key insights" at the Fundacao Dom Cabral (FDC) in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The PDF with the slides can be downloaded via this link (30MB PDF); as usual all material is creative-commons-licensed (attribution required / non-commercial). Topics include: broadband culture and mobility, social media, the link economy, the culture of participation, open economy paradigms, cloud computing futures, the network vs the networked, selling 2.0, privacy and much more.  You can download the FDC's STC program description here.

Here is the official event description: "The pace of change is constantly accelerating, everywhere and across most industries, whether it's in technology, communications, marketing, media, manufacturing, services or consumer goods. Disruption is becoming the norm rather than the exception. B2B relationships are deeply effected, as well, with new and often challenging standards of openness, transparency, collaboration and inter-connectivity quickly emerging. The future is likely to require hyper-collaboration rather than (just) competition, non-linear thinking, crowd-sourced innovation, and circular business model innovation"   

Enjoy and spread the word!

Announcing my appointment as Visiting Professor at the Fundaco Dom Cabral (Brazil), one of the world's leading business schools

I am delighted and honored to have been officially appointed as 'Visiting Professor' at the prestigious Fundacao Dom Cabral (FDC) in Brazil (based in Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte). FDC is ranked number 6 on the list of global business schools and executive education providers (see below), and collaborates globally with Kellogs and Insead. Download the FT Rankings  of global B-Schools (5 MB PDF)

I will be teaching, presenting, giving talks and delivering speeches in Brazil on a regular basis, both for FDC's many executive training programs, and events, as well as for their own staff and internal training. Some of my previous work for FDC can be found here: The Future of Business (slide-show) and Shifting to the Open Network Economy (slide-show). 

Related work in Brazil includes my appearance on the RodaViva TV Show, my collaboration with the NBS agency (Future of Communications event in Feb 2010), and my work with Feira Musica Brazil (Future of Music - Music 2.0 in Brazil).

At this point I also want to thank some of the key 2 people that have egged me on to do more work on Brazil: leadership guru, innovation expert and fellow FDC professor Didier Marlier and music business entrepreneur and iMusica founder Felippe Llerena - thanks to both of you for bringing me to Brazil! Going forward, you can track my travel dates and plans (incl.  most of the Brazil trips) via Dopplr, or via my Twitter stream; my next trip is June 21-26. When teaching at FDC in Sao Paulo or Belo Horizonte I may also be available for think-tanks and various speaking engagements in Brazil - just ping me if you are interested.

Complete video and audio from my appearance on Roda Viva / TV Cultura (Brazil), April 2010

This is the complete, 75-minute video of my appearance on Brazil's most popular talk show on Public TV, called Roda Viva (on the TV Cultura channel). I was delighted to be invited to the show, and really enjoyed being 'grilled' by the super-smart journalists and Brazilian media experts in the studio. We could have talked forever! The show was originally broadcast on April 26 (on Brazilian TV as well as online, see the Twitter buzz here) but unfortunately the webcast did not work very well so this is the first time I have seen the video, myself, and thanks to Roda Viva / TV Cultura I am delighted to be able to share this recording with you, as well.

More information about the show is here. Duda Groisman made some great photos during the recording of this show, embedded below. Related activities on this trip include: my presentation for NBS Brazil "The Future of Communications and Business", and my presentation at Fundacao  Dom Cabral (one of Brazil's best business schools) on "The Open Network Economy". Please note: the video is half Portuguese (the questions) and half English (my replies)

Here is a 9-minute version via Youtube (their 10-minute limit really bugs me!) Audio:
