According to Marty Vanagas, the business of economic development tends to be reactionary.  He should know.  Marty is an economic development professional but is also self-described futurist.  He serves as the President of the Saratoga County Prosperity Partnership, an economic development group in the State of New York, and also authors the blog Bespoke Future.

In this episode, Dennis leads an interesting interview as Marty offers some thoughts about anticipating the future.  If you are simply looking for and reacting to trends, you are too late.  Trends are a reflection of the past.

Tune in for some additional thoughts:

Beware of Multi-tasking

Use the 'F' word often

What worked yesterday may not work today
