"Making Futures Work" with Phil Balagtas

Futures Thinking is an emerging practice that can help you analyze trends in the world and project them into the future to identify potential threats and opportunities. Businesses use it to prepare for emerging tech like AI, governments use it to plan out strategies to address climate change, and you can even use it to plan out your career.

In his latest book, Making Futures Work: Integrating Futures Thinking for Design, Innovation and Strategy, Phil Balagats will talk about why thinking about the future is critical today and how you can make it work for you, your business or your goals in life. With over 25 years of experience as a designer, strategist and futurist, he has worked for companies like General Electric, McKinsey & Co, the UN and Amazon to name a few and founded his own nonprofit and community dedicated to futures work.
