A must watch for all planners and designers.

To underline the current monopolistic colonization of future's imaginations was, together with naming the expert bias, by far one of the fairest things i've seen coming from organizations directly connected to the business system. Beautiful.

Thanks for sharing.
I particularly loved the explanation on what Strategic Foresight is (starting at 10:18).
I was looking for a visual way to introduce foresight concepts and this is extremely valuable (Kudos to Alex Fergnani for the concepts)

Very digestible, inspiering and well scoped presentation🙌👌 I wish the process of actually scoping and selling this practice to clients was as digestible and to the point. You want to push the scope beyond comfort but rarely know where the painpoint exists and end up loosing the engagement. If we want to democratize it, how do we create the desire for it and ensure people use it for envisioning and creating positive outcomes and not controll undesired outcomes through fear mongering?. People seem better att understanding how to avoid future they don't want than how to work for a future they do want. 😵‍💫 seemingly associated with following the path of least resistance and reluctance to change. So if we democratize this through tecnology we need to embedd a way to frame the path of least resistant to motivation change or pacify resistance.
