UH Spring Gathering

Joe and I also gave fun talk at Spring gathering about the “Creativity Conundrum” in foresight:

In an era where the boundaries between disciplines are increasingly blurred, the intersection of design and strategic foresight applications presents both challenges and opportunities. Both fields are keen to adopt something from the other, but what does that look like in practice? This hour-long discussion, led by Martin Davis & Joe Carpita, seasoned professionals with extensive experience in design, innovation, and foresight, delves into the provocative question: "Does foresight have a creativity problem?"

APF Compass Article

Las fall my article "Beyond Return: Reimagining Workplace Futures Through CLA and Integral Theory" was featured in Compass Magazine's Issue on The Future of Work and Workplaces. The piece expands the return-to-work narrative by examining organizational design through worldviews, values, and developmental perspectives, using Causal Layered Analysis and Integral Theory frameworks.

Post-Design

I'm launching a Substack to explore what I am calling the "Post-Design" moment we're experiencing. We're at a curious juncture in design's evolution. In the same way post-modernism emerged not as a rejection of modernism but as its absorption and transformation, we're witnessing the emergence of "Post-Design"—an era where design has become so embedded that we've moved past old frameworks. I'm interested in this territory where design principles are everywhere but designers are somewhere else entirely, practicing in spaces between disciplines where old categories no longer apply. Stay tuned.
