Erik Peterson
Seven Revolutions: Exploring the World of 2025
Petree Auditorium, Wanda L. Bass School of Music
N.W. 26th St. and Blackwelder Ave.
7:30 p.m., Wednesday, October 7, 2009

Erik Peterson is senior vice president, and diector of the Global Strategy Institute at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). He also holds the William A. Schreyer Chair in Global Analysis.

Leadership is compressed. Greater connectivity across the world means broader perspectives are more important than ever before, but leadersâ€”no matter what their sectorâ€”have far fewer opportunities to think beyond their short term priorities and immediate responsibilities. Instant information flows are bringing planning horizons closer and closer to the present; pressures from multiple stakeholders are eroding prospects for consensus. It is increasingly difficult for leaders to act in the short term in ways that will yield long-term results.

SEVEN REVOLUTIONS is a project led by CSIS to identify and analyze the key policy challenges that policymakers, business figures, and other leaders will face out to the year 2025. It is an effort to promote strategic thinking on the long-term trends that too few leaders take the time to consider.

In exploring the world of 2025, we have identified seven areas of change we expect to be most "revolutionary:"

1.	Population

2.	Resource management and environmental stewardship

3.	Technological innovation and diffusion

4.	The development and dissemination of information and knowledge

5.	Economic integration

6.	The nature and mode of conflict

7.	The challenge of governance

Each of these seven forces embodies both opportunity and risk in the years ahead. Together, they will transform the way we live and interact with one another. That is why we call them the Seven Revolutions.

The key points of this research have been captured in an exciting, fast-paced, multimedia presentation that has been taken around the world. Erik Peterson, the projectâ€™s founder and director, has presented to every sectorâ€”from governments to private corporations to academia to nongovernmental organizationsâ€”and in every settingâ€”from local boardrooms to huge auditoriums overseas. SEVEN REVOLUTIONS is constantly updated to reflect the latest data analysis and available technologies. It is an effective tool for pushing audiences to think outside of their areas of expertise and beyond their familiar planning parameters.

SEVEN REVOLUTIONS continues to be the focal point of a running debate at CSIS and other organizations on the most important forces shaping the world and the policy challenges they engender. It is a challenge to leadersâ€”a challenge to think seriously about events that are over the horizon and a challenge to formulate and carry out policies in the near term to effect longer-range benefits.
