    Peter Scoblic: Long-Term Anticipatory Thinking

    The way we frame our thinking highly influences the very way we reason. The way we act is consequently influenced by the way we think. And then, we give a meaning, we define our surroundings based on such framing. The combination of framing and reasoning affect the way we create hypotheses of the future, whether this is considered probable, possible, plausible and so on. Today I am grateful for the opportunity to welcome Peter Scoblic at The Briefing.Today to talk about long term anticipatory thinking. Peter is co-founder at Event Horizon Strategies.

Today we will talk about the concept of heritage mindset with Richard Sandford, Professor at UCL in Heritage Evidence, Foresight and Policy. Richard has a diverse array of experience: coding, education, futures studies, futures literacy, policy, ethnographic research.
