Series One

Martin Raymond is an author, journalist and co-founder of The Future Laboratory - one of the world's most renowned futures consultancies. 

Established in 2000, they've worked with more than 1000 businesses in 50 countries. 

In this reposted episode, we discuss his thinking around a wide range of areas, including journalism being 'the last refuge of the desperate - and the curious' to the cultural drivers of tomorrow, strategic foresight around resilience and purpose, surveillance capitalism, scenario planning, and a certain J G Ballard. 

Along the way, we discuss his books "The Tomorrow People", "The Trend Forecaster's Handbook" and (at that point) forthcoming title "The Trusted and the Damned - or how to take a big company and make it small, irrelevant and pointless'. 

As they say, what's not to like?
