“Richard Feynman did about a million Dumb Studies, including a demonstration that urination isn’t driven by gravity because you can pee standing on your head.”

Dick Feynman, showing once again, why he was the finest theoretical physicist of his age.

"Uncertainty? Don't wait for clarity —create it!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

In a downturn, experimentation isn’t risky. It’s responsible - because it helps to build some clarity where often that clarity does not yet exist.

That doesn't seem intuitive. In uncertain times, it’s easy to assume that clarity comes from caution - that the path forward will emerge once the noise dies down, once the data stabilizes, and once the market settles.

You end up waiting a long time for that! You end up waiting for clarity that never comes, because here’s the truth: clarity doesn’t arrive. It’s earned.

And the way you earn it—especially in a downturn—is by moving.

Testing. Learning. Iterating. Acting. Trying ideas to see what works. Doing things for the sake of doing, not necessarily for the big win, but to figure out what works, and what does not. And in doing so, you create your sense of clarity.  That’s how you cut through the fog. That’s how you avoid paralysis.

That’s how you lead.

Experiments are your edge in an era of uncertainty because they are fuel to ignite clarity that is otherwise missing. Remember what I've said in this series - in times of economic pressure, many organizations retreat into stasis They pause product launches, cancel initiatives, and wait for signals. But the companies that thrive in a downturn do the opposite: They turn uncertainty into a laboratory. They run small tests. They build fast prototypes. They launch controlled rollouts. They create momentum—and clarity—through movement.

That’s not reckless. It’s responsible. And it builds something more valuable than predictions or plans: experiential capital.

Here’s how you start building that advantage now:

- launch a live test. Choose one customer segment. Try something new. Measure real results.

- prototype under pressure. Push a rough idea into the market. Let feedback shape the next version.

- accelerate learning loops. Replace long planning cycles with fast experiments. Learn weekly, not quarterly.

- capture insight. Build a shared learning bank. Don’t waste failure—mine it for gold.

- empower your team to try. Make experimentation safe. Celebrate effort, not just outcomes.

- rush something forward. It doesn’t have to be perfect—just real. Let motion build momentum.

- track what works. Treat every test as a data generator. Use outcomes to refine, redirect, and repeat.

- build a culture of motion. Innovation isn’t a project. It’s a mindset. You build it by doing.

Use urgency as fuel. In the face of hesitation, push forward. Action reveals what planning can’t. Make experiential capital your strategy. In a world that punishes delay, the most learned win..

I just finished writing an article about working with #wildclay terra sigillata that’ll be out in The Studio Potter, March 1. This is one of my favorite examples I shared: Light-green #clay sample from Abiquiu, NM, refined to terra sig, painted on two test tiles, one fired to cone 04 (left) and the other fired to cone 6 (right). The iron in the clay oxidizes and reveals itself as dark red at a lower temp, then melts & vitrifies into a green glaze at a higher temp. #alchemy #experimentation

"Every single opportunity is always within the margin of possibility!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

When the World Bank invited me to keynote on the future of manufacturing, they made one thing crystal clear: they wanted me to flip the script - paint of picture of opportunity, not disruption. Think about it - in the industry, everyone's been talking about disruption, what I could call "automation anxiety," global competition, new young upstarts, and relentless volatility - aka economic whiplash.

But here's the thing - despite all the big change trends on the horizon, they're rocket fuel for those who know how to harness them. With that in mind, I just put together a little Website that details my manufacturing keynotes - the type of thing I did for this group. It's over at https://manufacturing.jimcarroll.com. I highlight these trends at the top of the page:

“Collapsing product lifecycles. Artificial intelligence. The connectivity of the Industrial Internet of Things. Mass customization. Digitization, robotics, and the cloud. Design based on crowd thinking. Rapid prototyping and deployment. Faster time to market. 3D printing / additive manufacturing. Are you ready for the new world of manufacturing?”

As a manufacturing executive or engineer, you could look at all those things and see a threat - but the real magic is if you instead see them as opportunities. I don't know if you have ever looked at it, but check one of the highlighted images on the home page of my Web site.

That's the essence of my thinking, and that's what I shared at this event and many others.

My manufacturing keynote description goes as follows:

----

While popular media and opportunistic politicians portray a picture of a sector in crisis, smart manufacturing executives are furiously busy with innovation, reinventing their capabilities, processes, and business models using advanced ideas, materials, methodologies, and technologies.

The reality of manufacturing today is that there is a big opportunity that comes from aligning with fast-paced trends. What a time for innovation opportunity, and for insight from a great keynote that really puts all of these trends into perspective.

---

All of the trends sweeping the manufacturing sector represent an opportunity. They represent possibilities for reinvention, transformation, and innovation. And they are out there, just waiting to be grabbed. They are within the margin of possibility.

Do you have the same mindset?

#Introduction

La CPN 29 embarque sur Mastodon !

Portée par la #DRANeBretagne, la Coopérative Pédagogique Numérique déploie des formations aux usages pédagogiques du numérique, dans ses locaux (Bâtiment X, du lycée Vauban à Brest) ou bien en #Escale dans les établissements qui la sollicitent.
La CPN 29, c'est aussi un tiers lieu ouvert aux acteurs de la coopération, de l'innovation et du partage dans l'éducation. #ApprentissageParLesPairs, #expérimentation #ProjetPédagogiqueNumérique

@millerebonds @Greguti Corinne Morel Darleux propose une vision audacieuse : un ministère de l'expérimentation sociale et politique. En doublant les institutions existantes, elle souhaite créer des structures autogérées qui répondent aux besoins réels des citoyens. Ce double pouvoir pourrait incarner une véritable révolution démocratique, favorisant l'innovation et la participation citoyenne. #DoublePouvoir #Expérimentation #CorinneMorelDarleux #DémocratieParticipative #ecologieradicale

My wife grabbed me another Japanese Maple leaf on the way out of our great-niece’s birthday party this past weekend, thinking it’d make a nice subject for some scanography. She was right.
