We're at a tipping point, fighting crises on global issues like climate change and personal ones like addiction, without much success. What's the problem?
We haven't figured out how to get beyond bandaids and incremental change to create systemic, radical innovation.
That's because we haven't learned how to unlock our imaginations, to envision anything substantially different than the status quo. To do that, we need tools like foresight, futurism and future storytelling – along with someone who knows how to use them.
That's where Joe Tankersley comes in. A futurist and former filmmaker, he helped Disney become a world leader in designing the future. I reached out to him to see what advice he had to help today's innovators do the same.
