Spark Works AG

An online roundtable with industry experts and experienced Futures Thinkers to discuss and share their approach towards this mindset. 

We live in a world where change shapes everything around us. At the same time, we are globally witnessing the impact of a pandemic on our planet, society, and businesses.A year ago most of us would have never imagined a Future where a pandemic was so vividly forming our lives, businesses, and regulations. However, this scenario has become a tangible reality for all of us. This idea of an unthinkable future scenario taking place in our present made us rethink our own perception of the Future.Anticipating the future by different means helps to bring clarity into a world that is continually influenced by change. How will we move around in 2040 if technological developments keep accelerating? How will democracy in the future look like? And how can we act on these futures now, as business and society? What is the value of exploring the future, when does it help, and what are the limits? Join us for our next online round-table to learn about different Futures Thinking mindsets and how different experts are applying it to their lives and work. Moreover, we will engage with you, our audience to discover your approach towards Futures. SpeakersAs part of the online interactive discussion, we have invited four experts and experienced Futures Thinkers. They are:<ul><li>George Panopoulos | Solferino Academy: Global Head of Strategic Foresight, Systems Design &amp; Innovation | International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies - IFCR</li><li>Joseph Press | Futures Advisor at Institute for the Future, and Visiting Professor of Innovation, Design and Leadership at Politecnico di Milano</li><li>Raphael Gielgen | Trendscout Future of Work at Vitra</li><li>Harald Neidhardt | CEO &amp; Curator at futur/io Institute</li></ul>
