About the seminar
In the current era of rapid digital transformations and unprecedented societal shifts, predicting an unambiguous, certain future is becoming increasingly difficult. Attempting to predict such complexities can be daunting as our world is evolving at an accelerating pace. It is important to recognise the unpredictability of the future and embrace this uncertainty.
In these dynamic times of change, this seminar provides a place to explore and learn together. Together, we dive into future thinking and planning, realising that our shared insights are key to discovering new possibilities ahead.
Join us, not as spectators of the future, but as active participants in shaping it!
