In episode 4, we welcomed futurist Ben Hammersley. Visions of the future are linear narratives, but the reality is more complex. The future is not a destination, but people will sell it that way. Rather than make predictions about facts, it’s best to develop frameworks that help organizations prepare for changes and shared mental models to equip people to respond to events…and many more nuggets and illustrations. Michele Wucker joined the discussion.
