How foresight can help you remain truly ahead of the curve
About this session
Overnight, the pandemic forced us to make changes to the way we work and laid bare how woefully unprepared the world was for a deeply transformative societal event. But is it even possible to prepare for once-in-a-lifetime events like this? What about preparing for a host of different futures and innovations (regardless of your inability to actually predict the future!)? Foresight, or futures thinking, gives us this ability, allowing us not only to see popular digital trends that everyone already has their eye on but to scan the fringes for groundbreaking innovation that has yet to hit the mainstream. In this fascinating keynote session, Krizna Gomez will explain how foresight can move you from adapting to what comes to actively engineering the future you want and ground us in the importance of seeing the bigger picture.
