The importance of foresight for innovation, with SAP’s John Licata Business Schooled

John Licata, Chief Innovation Foresight Strategist at SAP, discusses his role in making SAP and its customers more future-ready. With a diverse background spanning finance, marketing, and consulting, John takes a curiosity-driven approach to foresight that combines thought leadership with prototyping potential solutions. He is excited about the rapid evolution of Generative AI but stresses the importance of responsible, ethical, and sustainable AI that augments rather than replaces humans. He underscores storytelling as a key to making foresight concepts understandable, and emphasizes the importance of empathy and inclusion, to ensure new technologies create opportunities that level the playing field for all.
