Ponder 10 November 2021: Thinking the Future, with Clem Sunter
Thinking the Future
New perspectives from the shoulders of giants
Isaac Newton said ‘If I have seen further than others, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.’ In their bestselling book Thinking the Future, Clem Sunter and Mitch Ilbury teach the futurist’s art of decision-making by reimagining concepts from history’s greatest thinkers.
Clem's presentation draws on his book to show you how to weigh up your future and harness the power of scenario planning to work towards the future you want, and avoid the ones you don’t.
