Think Forward EP 129: The Dao of Foresight with Alex Fergnani 1:03:38

3天之前1:03:38

1:03:38

Alex Fergnani takes us on a journey from his beginnings as a martial arts student in Asia to becoming a provocative voice in futures thinking with his groundbreaking approach to foresight wisdom. His upcoming book "The Dao of Foresight" with Penguin represents a fresh approach to teaching foresight concepts through an entertaining narrative set in a fictional world. Following a hero's journey structure, the novel follows a young disciple seeking a master to help save his endangered village. Through this adventure, readers learn foresight techniques while engaging with wisdom from Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and Confucianism. Alex shares the comprehensive world-building process behind the book—creating maps, character backgrounds, and plot structures that form a rich universe accessible to audiences from teenagers to seasoned practitioners. Some highlights from our conversation: Entered futures accidentally after pursuing Asian studies and discovering a Future Studies program in Taiwan Views Kung Fu as the primary influence on his approach to foresight—focusing on rigorous fundamentals, discipline, and systematic processes Created "The Dao of Foresight" as an edutainment novel set in the Land of Pangu Developed a comprehensive world-building process with maps, character backgrounds, and a hero's journey narrative structure Believes the foresight field should first distinguish between futurism (speculation) and foresight (systematic approaches) Pivoting his career toward becoming a "communicator of wisdom" rather than a traditional foresight practitioner His personal revelation that his initial attraction to foresight's ambitious scope was partly compensating for deeper psychological needs offers powerful insight for anyone drawn to futures work. Whether you're curious about alternative approaches to futures thinking or interested in how storytelling can transform complex concepts, this episode offers a thought-provoking blend of Eastern wisdom and foresight practice.

Organizational foresight is the key differentiator between companies that merely survive and those that actively shape their future, enabling systematic anticipation of change through expanded thinking across three time horizons. • Foresight isn't corporate fortune-telling—it's a sophisticated navigation system showing multiple routes and spotting opportunities others miss • The three horizons framework balances improving current business (H1: 0-2 years), exploring emerging opportunities (H2: 2-5 years), and reimagining industries (H3: 5-10+ years) • Effective foresight models include centralized teams, hub-and-spoke systems, or distributed capabilities—choose what fits your organization's culture • Start small with approaches like "Future Fridays" or trend newsletters before scaling up • Build a diverse team combining strategic thinkers, researchers, storytellers, and bridge builders • Create a futures-focused culture by integrating foresight into existing processes and making it safe to challenge assumptions • Organizations with mature foresight capabilities achieve 33% higher profitability and 200% higher growth than industry averages • Measure success through learning metrics, process metrics, impact metrics, and value metrics • Begin with a "futures audit" of recent decisions to identify where foresight could add the most value Subscribe to the Think Forward podcast on all major platforms and YouTube under Think Forward Show.
