How to Make Decisions When You Can’t Predict the Future

We cannot predict the future. But we can get better at preparing for it. In this new episode of the Podržimo održivo podcast, host Nikola Noršić speaks with Sean Pillot de Chenecey, Associate Partner at the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies, about strategic foresight, uncertainty, and how organisations can prepare for futures they cannot predict. What is the difference between predicting the future and preparing for it? How should leaders make decisions when there is no single correct forecast? And why are hope and curiosity important when thinking about the future? In this short but wide-ranging conversation we discuss the human side of preparing for the future, the role of hope and curiosity, and how Sean’s earlier experience in the British Army continues to shape the way he thinks about foresight and strategy.
