Thanks @rossdawson for making these available. Details from his blog: gerd.fm Here are a few of the topics we discuss: * A key role of futurists is to develop and share foresights * Someone who helps people think about the future to make better decisions today * To examine and distinguish between trends and uncertainties in order to work out the best path forward * Clients are interested in having help thinking about things they don't have time to think about * It is not a luxury but a necessity to think about the future, but it is useful to get help doing that from people who spend all their time doing that * Going beyond the obvious is a special skill, but it is also about drawing out the implications of the obvious * Stepping outside of beliefs and orthodoxies can be more easily done from outside organizations * While some companies have resident futurists it is highly valuable to bring in people who can be disrespectful and challenge internal thinking * Being a 'provocateur' means provoking not just thoughts but sometimes emotions
