The must-have skill for the future: Untangling unintended consequences

from Future Tense · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

In our uber-connected world, the development and management of really anything is becoming increasingly complex. Planning for the future has to involve more than just grand ambitions, it also needs to be alert to unintended consequences. Otherwise things you didn't even dream about will go wrong and that can prove enormously costly. Part of the solution is to think past the immediate and adopt a systematic approach to thinking.GuestsDr Edward Crawley – Ford Professor of Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)Dr Isabel Sebastian – Research Principal, Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology SydneyGavin Maguire – Global Energy Transition Columnist, Reuters NewsNicola Twilley – Writer and podcaster, author of the forthcoming book "The Birth of Cool"
