Emerging Ideas


The Frontier Starts Here

Before disruption is strategy, it begins as an idea.

Emerging Ideas is BDN’s insight and innovation lab — a publication space for forecasts, experiments, pilot concepts, and big questions that haven’t yet made it to the mainstream.

Think McKinsey meets interdisciplinary brilliance. This is where we test what’s next, and where scholars at all levels propose, predict, and provoke.

You’ll find:

  • Short-form white papers and future-of-work essays
  • AI, climate, and tech horizon scanning
  • Experimental frameworks and innovation concepts
  • Policy implications across sectors
  • Rethinking of legacy systems in education, health, media, and more These are not just new ideas — they are the ideas that make new things possible.


Let’s talk about your future

Through the intergenerational structure of mentorship and networking, we create a pipeline of excellence from professors to graduate students to college students. BDN leverages the personal interest and energy of members of exceptional scholars into a collaborative, functional community.
