Q&A with Futurist and Author Jim Lee
"I really wanted to explore what it would look like if a futurist ran a money management firm. The whole idea is: If you want to be in the right place at the right time, it’s helpful to show up a little early."
The Important Role of Futurists
Futures studies, often interchangeably called foresight, is an evolving profession that is necessary for humanity to think about how to plan and prepare for the future as well as influence change. We now live in a world that is extremely interconnected and thus it becomes more difficult to understand the potential ripple effects of various dynamics, be it the emergence of the Internet of Things or a pandemic.
A paradox? Expand foresight zone to narrow uncertainties
One objective of exploring a range of possible futures is “preparation” in the widest possible sense. What proactive steps can we take today to better prepare for and ultimately make more informed decisions in response to the future as it materializes?
Is the Future of Work Dependent on the Future of Healthcare?
As changes related to work gain traction, there are many inputs to consider. The cross-disciplinary dependencies on the Future of Work in the longer horizon will be especially complex and there is an important intersection we cannot ignore: The Future of Work, the Future U.S. Economy, and the Future of Healthcare in the United States.

And the mismatch between societal and generational changes, climate challenges and the short-term, narrow corporate strategies."
