Mini Trip Report: Lima, Peru

The CIIT Peru (Future of Mining) Congress brought me to Lima to talk about Accelerating Technological Change & Collective Intelligence to Better Plan the Mining Industries at the suggestion of Fernando Ortega, Chair of the Peruvian Node of The Millennium Project.

Prior to the talk, I give Fernando and two others from the Node a training program in the use of our on-line Global Futures System. This led to Fernando’s discussions with the head of CONCYTEC (National Science, Technology & Innovation Council of Peru) about creating a national  collective intelligence system and implications for working with the new President to upgrade the strategic foresight capacity (while here the President of Peru resigned and the new President took over). We also talked about collaborating with the OAS on its plans to improve foresight training in the region.
