The New Abnormal: 'Anticipating Change re: Opportunities and Risks'

Listen to global futurist and editor of Compass magazine, Stephen Dupont.

This episode of 'The New Abnormal' podcast features Stephen Dupont, Principal at Dupont Foresight, who brings a futures mindset to marketing/communications planning and strategy. He also serves on the board of the nonprofit 'Teach the Future' and is a Future Fellow of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Stephen's expertise in foresight helps clients anticipate change – to see around corners, grab opportunities and avoid risks. Based in the US, he helps organisations communicate their visions of the future, by leveraging foresight tools to help leaders make smarter decisions. 

He's also editor of Compass, the quarterly magazine of the Association of Professional Futurists (APF). Stephen has also had more than 50 of his articles published about marketing, communications, foresight, future trends, creativity, content marketing, writing, and more over the past few years. Over his career, his work has also been honoured with over 50 awards. 

We discuss all of the above, along with his feedback on the latest annual Dubai Future Forum. So, I hope you enjoy listening to Stephen as much as I did!
