Whose Future Is This?

What Is A Futurist?

Listen Later

The title “futurist” is popping up more and more in job titles  and in the way that people describe what it is they do, but what exactly is a futurist?  What is it that they do? and what skill set do you need to be one?  It proves to be a challenging and intricate one to address because the truth is anyone can call themselves a futurist. In this episode I share my observations  and experiences working with different types of futurists and leave you with resources to explore how you might want to develop your own skills in becoming a futurist.
