Foresight transforms lives. It transformed mine and I love helping people both transform theirs and help others to do the same. It is good to be reminded about this.

Supporting successful change. It's really hard to do, but it has been a great book writing market. Maybe it's been too good because now we have an almost overwhelming choice of theories to follow for the changes we're trying to manage. Or do we? In episode 194, Peter Hayward speaks to Robinson Roe returns to FuturePod to discuss his latest venture in the world of managing change. A bookcast that distils the best of the books on change that Rob has found through his extensive reading. #futurepod #foresight #futures #futurist #futuresthinking #strategicforesight #futurestudies #futuresliteracy

How exactly do you make all this work? How do you study the science? Listen to your muse? Do the scanning? Have a vision?And then stick the landing? In episode 194, Peter Hayward hosts John M Smart, the CEO of Foresight U.

In a complex world that is probably accelerating in both complexity, weirdness, and messiness. How can decision-makers find enough coherence in the mess to chart a way forward, as they must, while also remaining open and skeptical about any temporary coherence they stumbled into. And how do they also handle the psychic burden of such an intellectual high wire act? In episode 193, Peter Hayward hosts Meredith Bowden and Dave Godden to discuss their Complex Mess community and what they have learned about supporting people working in complex spaces. #futurepod #foresight #futures #futurist #futuresthinking #strategicforesight #futurestudies #futuresliteracy

We do our work to engage people with the idea of open futures. To support collaboration and to help them find their agency. Museums, which create futures exhibits know about what works and why. And so we brought back three of our guests to the pond to discuss this. In episode 192, Peter Hayward hosts Kristin Alford, Elizabeth Merritt and Maggie Greyson MDes, APF for a guests conversation. #futurepod #foresight #futures #futurist #futuresthinking #strategicforesight #futurestudies #futuresliteracy

On earlier podcasts I have said that our work sometimes means we have to spend a lot of time thinking deeply about futures that we would wish would never come to fruition. In order to better see pathways of prevention or transformation, we need to deeply understand how something could eventuate. When were doing this work, then how do we keep our balance? What is our compass? In episode 191, Peter Hayward speaks with Jay Gary, PhD, APF Gary who is an educator, researcher, and practitioner. hashtag hashtag #futurepod hashtag hashtag #foresight hashtag hashtag #futures hashtag hashtag #futurist hashtag hashtag #futuresthinking hashtag hashtag #strategicforesight hashtag hashtag #futurestudies hashtag hashtag #futuresliteracy

The term design futures has crept into our lexicon over the years. And nowadays someone can say they are design futurist and we can all nod our heads like we understand what they mean. But do we?  Do design futurist's, just make the future same safer by extending the present into it. Or can they embrace or even love uncertainty? In episode 190, Peter Hayward speaks with Rodney Frederickson who is design futurist, abstract artist, storyteller, philosopher, game designer, martial artist and an occasional poet. hashtag #futurepod hashtag #foresight hashtag #futures hashtag #futurist hashtag #futuresthinking hashtag #strategicforesight hashtag #futurestudies hashtag #futuresliteracy
