Our stream of consciousness conversations run the full gambit of emotions in the strategy space, from joy to cringe! Join me as I sit down with two of the most prolific researchers in scenario planning, Nicholas Rowland, Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the Pennsylvania State University and Matthew Spaniol, Senior Researcher of Strategic Foresight in the Department of People and Technology at Roskilde University. We discuss their chapter, Examining Emotion in the Facilitation of Scenario Planning, in our newest book, Improving and Enhancing Scenario Planning: Futures Thinking volume, published by Edward Elgar Publishing. Thank you for joining us in this fun little chat.

Join me as I sit down with Dr Kwamou Eva Feukeu, Head of the Africa Centre of Expertise and co-runs the Decolonial Comparative Law project at Max Planck Institute for Comparative Private International Law (Germany). We discuss her chapter, Reframing and Futures Literacy: Tackling the Poverty of the Modern Imagination, in our newest book, Improving and Enhancing Scenario Planning: Futures Thinking volume, published by Edward Elgar Publishing. We look at what reality is and can be, for the many as well as for the few; the future of technological evolutions and where our views bias towards.
