In this third episode we chat with Professor Sohail Inayatullah, who is one of the planet’s biggest names when it comes to futures studies (actually, when it comes to any sort of studies - he’s in the top two per cent of scientists worldwide as measured by citations).

CLA, or Causal Layered Analysis, is a tool Sohail created to get to the hidden layers that drive our thoughts, beliefs and actions. In this conversation he talks about why he created the tool, how it works in practice and tips for facilitators. He peppers this advice with plenty of real-world examples from his work with organisations around the globe.

In our next episode Victoria will take this conversation and turn it into an imagined workshop. Until then please enjoy our interview with Sohail!
