How can better foresight actually improve the world?
Details
Futurists and other practitioners of foresight have often created impressive-looking reports - which have frequently failed to bring about meaningful improvements in the worlds of economics and politics. What's gone wrong? What's been lacking? And what chance is there for some of us to go beyond these shortcomings?
This live London Futurists webinar will feature a panel of speakers with distinctive views on the above questions.
Topics that may be explored include
- The wider set of methods and processes that the discipline of foresight can deploy
- Technological tools that can improve decision-making and adaptive responses
- The transformative power of narrative
- Options for enhancing the effectiveness of global institutions
- Past examples of when good foresight did improve the world
The webinar will also include time for audience questions, feedback, and extended conversation.
To conclude the event, plans will be made for follow-up events or projects with the same overarching general theme of "From forecasts to levers".
