Anticipate and Get Ready for the Future - Podcast

Strategic Foresight or How Not to Be Surprised.

Listen to Dr Helene Lavoix’s interview by Julien Devaureix for Sismique, “the channel with over 4 million listeners.“

“In today’s highly volatile and rapidly changing environment, it is imperative for our contemporary societies and for all players, whether private or public, to reduce the uncertainty associated with the future. The primary objective is to survive and progress in the best possible way. To achieve this, we need to identify and assess the changes that are already underway and that we will have to face in the future.”
