The Evolving Leader How to Future with Scott Smith
In this episode of the Evolving Leader podcast, Jean and Scott talk to futurist, strategist, and author Scott Smith. Scott flips some of the notions of prediction, pushing back at the idea of the future that we can describe as some shiny idea, to how we think about, eliminate and quantify risk. He gives us many fascinating takeaways about how to rethink how we plan for and prepare for what comes next – as he puts it – he shows us how to future.
Scott Smith is the founder and managing partner of Changeist, a futures research and consulting partnership and co-wrote How to Future, Leading and sense-making in an age of hyperchange, published by Kogan Page in 2020.
