Becoming Visionary FutureMakers Innovating at The Edge of The Unknown
summary
Claims a four‑stage visionary futuremaking framework — desired visions, current‑state assessment, transformational commitment, and new‑paradigm prototyping — and shows it applied on the ground: a $200 dream wall, community festivals, a governor‑backed cleanup and a Newberg Dream Center that mobilize residents and urban planners and produce measurable neighborhood activity. Tools include Midjourney imagery, futures backcasting, and community prototyping. Organizations named: Burn Bright International, World Dream Day (Sept 25), and Singularity University. The model scales from individual mindset shifts to organizational culture change.
