Dream it, make it, shape it. From Hawaii to Newcastle, this episode is about people coming together to think big about the world around them. What could it look like? How will it work? What will your role be? We’ll explore the tools and techniques to get people involved in the shape of things to come.
“How do we actually bring in curiosity? How do we enhance how we understand and make sense of uncertainty? How do we bring in ambiguity and understand that, obviously, the world is not a black and white place?”
