Interpret the Future has grown from my collaboration with
OpenKnowledge, an international consulting firm that specializes in helping
large organizations realize their business potential through open and
collaborative approaches based on the Social Business paradigm.
We have brought together six
young interpreters who are not only brilliant linguists, but who are also using a
range of social media tools and practices to develop their professional careers
and profiles.
The team is also providing an
English translation of the Social Business Manifesto for OpenKnowledge. This
seminal document is being published in conjunction with the Harvard Business Review Italia.
As part of the project we have
also established a blog called “Interpret the Future” which contains profiles
of all the interpreters and team members, as well as topical articles and discussions
on the opportunities and challenges facing interpreters in the digital era.
“Interpret the Future” will
continue to run after the Social Business Forum in order to provide greater
exposure and networking opportunities for the language professionals involved.
We also envisage developing and extending “Interpret the Future” as an informal
network for (mainly) young interpreters, translators and others who would like
to find out more about the opportunities available from combining language
skills and insights into social media. (More seasoned linguists who would like to exploit new technology to develop their careers will, of course, also be welcome!)
