| 16:10 | Planning…when all plans fail The last years the business environment has changed, some have flourished like never before, others have been in the storm of their lives. Looking ahead to the coming years and decades, we are witnessing a profound landscape change in the way we work, live, consume, engage with one another and structure our lives. While the amount of information we receive is growing exponentially, our structural line of sight has never been more uncertain. How do we combine human and machine intelligence? What are the long-term Risk with a split between East and West? Does it matter which country introduces the first national cryptocurrency? What will it mean if globalisation of goods, services and capital flows stalls and reveres as the global collaboration is centrifuged into regionalisation and bilateralism? And those are just a few vectors of change to consider. • The last years has shaken our certainty in a wide range of ‘givens’. Thing we have long taken for granted changed literally over night. • How does one plan and keep a long term view in such circumstances? • We tend to refer to the future as a state that will eventually transpire and engulf us, and often with a certain flavour. But the future is neutral and we often have ample time to make the most of it. • Is it possible to treat the future as an asset? Daria Krivonos, CEO & Futurist, Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies |
