Killing Stupid Rules

This week Lisa Bodell, Top-50 ranked futurist, author, speaker and founder of FutureThink joins the Futurists. Bodell shares how she teaches structured scenario planning and why “real futurists use models, not guesses”. We discuss scenario planning at Pfizer, that eliminated thousands of hours through their “kill a stupid rule” initiative, and how AI will lead to more meaningful work and less of it. Brett hosts this one solo from Dubai with Lisa in Westchester, NY.
