Engineering Practice in a VUCA World
September 23-25, 2024
Boulder, Colorado
SPONSORED BY THE LEMELSON FOUNDATION / ENGINEERING FOR ONE PLANET
It’s a VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world — and it’s worsening. The 2024 Engineering Ideas Institute will dive into the dynamics of this unfolding future. Join us at the Colorado Chautauqua in Boulder, Colorado, to explore:
- Are new paradigms for engineering practice emerging, and what are the broad contours of these new ways of thinking?
- How can the engineering community build (rebuild) trust between itself and the broader public while experiencing this VUCA world?
- What role should the engineering community play in countering an increasing trend of disinformation and misinformation?
- What is the leadership mandate for the engineering community in this VUCA world for addressing issues such as climate change, cyber resilience, diversity and inclusion, and social justice?
- What macro-ethical challenges are arising for engineering practice as the Fourth Industrial Revolution unfolds?
If you are working to drive change in your organization or just curious about the future, we invite you to join us.
