Navigating the Next Future – Adding Foresight to Financial Insight with Steve Wells

2 Min Read

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The world is increasingly subject to significant change and while the focus is often on the potential implications of exponential technology developments like artificial intelligence, robotics, adaptive manufacturing, augmented and virtual reality for example, political, economic, and social change are also happening at break-neck speed. This range of future forces—together with the fall-out from the Covid 19 pandemic—act on life, society, and business and add to our personal and organisational sense of complexity and uncertainty.

In the past, we have been confident in our predictions about how the external environment is evolving and been able to come to consensus about the way ahead. Increasingly we are far from certain about how the outside world is evolving and are less able to reach consensus about how to proceed.

The question is how do we Navigate the Next Future for our clients and ourselves?

In this video, futurist Steve Wells explores aspects of a leadership challenge, considers factors driving future change (using a STEEP framework), and looks at some of the lessons learned through the Covid 19 pandemic. Discover what foresight can tell us about the future and how, and conclude with five ways we can Navigate the Next Future.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/z6p_1Tv-nsA”][vc_column_text]Steve Wells is an experienced international speaker, futurist, strategist, an insights business specialising in futures and foresight.
