3 Top Takeaways: The Future Will Reward Clarity and Punish Certainty

  • The superpower of the futurist is the ability to think from the future back, not the present forward
  • We don’t use the word “predict” we use forecast. Nobody can predict the future
  • Traditional marketing and advertising will be dead in 10 years

BONUS

  • Flexive command, continuously evaluating who is in the best position to make the decision at any given time
