What am I doing? I’m so glad you asked. I’m helping to write some thought starters for a workshop for the Australian Book Industry Strategy Group. I’m also having lunch with a few folks at Shell and preparing a prospectus for a project looking at scenarios for the future of sport in 2020 (or 2030, we can’t decide). Apart from that finishing the best article I’ve ever read on demographics. See Foreign Affairs, issue Nov/Dec 2010 ‘The Demographic Future’ by Nicholas Eberstadt (foreignaffairs.com).

What do I have for you today? Nothing really, apart from saying that issue 27 of my What’s Next trend report is now up and available (free) at www.nowandnext.com
