How can we use futures thinking to reimagine how businesses can accelerate to a just and regenerative future? Featuring Alisha Bhagat

November 15, 2022 • Season 3 • Episode 2

In this special edition of the Futuring Podcast, Sol Salinas (Global Executive Vice President & Sustainability Lead - The Americas) from Capgemini and Alisha Bhagat, Forum for the Future’s Futures Lead and teacher of Futures Studies and Speculative Design at Parsons School of Design in New York reflect on the discourse around transformative change has shifted in recent decades and the mindset that we need to imagine what sort of change is needed moving forward.

Tune in to hear Sol and Alisha explore the role of ‘futures’ thinking - why it is necessary and how to utilise it - whilst drawing on many examples and even making parallels with science fiction! What should the future look like, and what questions do businesses need to be asking?
