Almost 14 years ago, I addressed a question first raised by Jeff Dc Canga: How will we manage the change from a pre-set package of options (membership) to an individually negotiated exchange of value? In that original post, I addressed issues of consumer expectations around mass personalization and customization, the concept of “cafeteria” membership, deciding whether or not to gate content, and the necessity of the occasional sacred cow barbecue.

Fourteen years ago, I had the opportunity to attend a futurist session held in honor of the 50th anniversary of the CAE program. After a dense presentation by facilitator Marsha Rhea, we broke into 10-year, 30-year, and 50-year discussion groups. I found myself in the 30-year group (2040) and discovered that my fellow discussants could not seem to wrap their minds around things like sea level rise and the encroaching crisis in fresh, potable water.
