Description

Back in December I recorded a podcast with Keely Adler who heads up Futures over at Dentsu Creative. This was, of course, prior to the agency's huge T-Mobile way in which Keely played a huge part. In this conversation, we talked about how she sees the discipline of "Futures" (what it is and what it isn't) and the role it plays within strategy and for clients.  Keely is also on the core team of the RADAR group, which is a fascinating group of futurists and those with an interest in the future. It's a DAO which makes it somewhat unique as an organisation, and its purpose is to promote "futures" thinking and to create reports on the topic. The most recent report being "Our Centaur Future" which RADAR describes as "At the convergence of man and machine lies Our Centaur Future. But what shape should that convergence take? Yes, this is about AI... but we’re going well beyond that. In the now, the near, and the next, it’s clear that we’ll be living (working, playing, learning, and creating) with more human-like technology than we’ve ever dealt with before. What does this mean for our relationship with technology? For our relationship with our humanity? For how we think about the physical, the digital, and the spaces in between?"

Inspiring Futures is a podcast about the future hosted by Ed Cotton. We live in the now, everything around us is increasingly real-time, so we are somewhat challenged to think about the future because it’s an unknown and takes discipline to think about. But what happens when we do we think about the future, when do we think about it, who inspires the futures we think about and what do we think the future will hold? Inspiring Futures is a podcast that talks to people from diverse backgrounds, careers and industries and talks to them about how they think and what they think about the future.
