The Chief Disruptor Podcast by Chief Disruptor

Episode notes
This week, we welcome Ben Holt, Global Lead for Strategic Foresight at IFRC Solferino Academy. In his role, Ben consults across different Red Cross and Red Crescent societies worldwide, helping them make sense of their massively uncertain and volatile environments. In this episode, we explore strategic foresight at the Red Cross, its application across industries and, ultimately answer what is and what isn’t strategic foresight. We also offer up a working example looking at the future AI, its widescale uptake and societal impacts and, as always, Ben shares with us his disruptive thought of the day. In addition to his role at the Red Cross, Ben is a Visitor at the Cambridge University Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) and a member of the Association of Professional Futurists.Connect.
