My guest for this episode is Donna Dupont, Founder and Chief Strategist for Purple Compass. She is an award-winning designer and futurist, and brings skills and insights developed over 25 years working with leaders in healthcare, public safety, defense and security. 

In our discussion, Donna explains the work she does helping organisations build their future literacy skills to navigate and lead change in today’s complex and uncertain world. By integrating theory and practice she assists organisations to strengthen their anticipatory and adaptive capabilities, strategic intelligence, and agility in learning to advance future policy and strategic planning for impact. 

Donna is passionate about helping her clients learn and apply foresight to support organisational decision-making and advancing actions to mitigate future risk, enhance preparedness and adaptive capacity to disruptive events, and leverage opportunities for change, innovation and transformation. 

Her unique style bridges systems thinking with strategic foresight to understand patterns and the potential evolution over time. She works with both quantitative and qualitative data, and designs processes to ensure confidence with insights and knowledge theories generated. 

And Donna is well qualified to provide this foresight to organisation - she is a recipient of seven government awards at the provincial and federal level for outstanding achievement, excellence and partner relations in policy and strategic planning. Her futures research “Anticipation in Emergency Management, 2020” received awards from the Canadian Defence and Security Network, and the Association of Professional Futurists. Donna holds a Master of Design in Strategic Foresight & Innovation from OCAD University. 

I hope you find this conversation as interesting as I did.
