IESP | The Wilds Beyond 2x2 Futures
<p>What happens when the conventional practice of scenario planning actively embeds false certainties and constraints, alongside an absence of responsibility? Join me as I sit down with our dynamic duo, Sophia Bazil and Geci Karuri-Sebina to discuss the motivations behind these common practices and their ongoing implications. Our guests are from the Wits School of Governance in South Africa and the Africa Foresight Network in the US. We discuss their chapter, The Wilds Beyond 2x2 Futures: An Enquiry into Decolonising Foresight, in our newest book, Improving and Enhancing Scenario Planning: Futures Thinking volume, published by Edward Elgar Publishing.
