96. Why we all need to think like Futurists with Steph Clarke and Prina Shah

Are you ready to catapult your team's problem-solving mindset into the future?

That's precisely what you'll learn to do in our engaging conversation with Steph Clarke, a futurist and facilitator from Melbourne. 

We discuss the concept of futures thinking and its profound implications for the way we view and address issues.

Can you imagine the kind of conversations you could have with a digital replica of a lost loved one? We explore this intriguing idea along with the role of AI, and the pressures of an aging demographic on the workforce. 

We also explore the concept of unretirement and the need for a mentorship and apprenticeship model in the wake of these challenges. 

We dive into the potential of platforms like Slack and Teams in fostering diverse perspectives and promoting innovation through knowledge sharing.

If you are struggling to strike a balance between the past and the future listen in as we discuss the need for a cultural shift in organizations, and how future-thinking can be embedded into their DNA. 

Steph also sheds light on the struggle of maintaining meaningful conversations in life and the workplace, and offers her insights on navigating the dichotomy between the past and the future.
