Scott Smith, author of How to Future will discuss practical ways to cultivate a future-focused mindset.

As institutions, companies or individuals, we can often neglect to reach our true potential because we lack the tools or knowledge to adequately landscape the path ahead.

Scott explores how organisations can build the capabilities needed to filter through the noise to find the most important signals of change, and adopt the tools of strategic foresight to navigate through turbulent times.
