14: Futurist Predictions for Design & Business with Rebecca Ryan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Our world is rapidly evolving. We’ve got AI and a whole host of other innovations coming on board and shaking things up. If we're not evolving in our business, we will be left behind. Instead of being fearful of the uncertainty that lies ahead in 2024 and beyond, what if we could hear predictions from someone who studies the future and create a game plan?
As a professional futurist, Rebecca Ryan is no stranger to predictions. I’m so excited she’s joining me for this conversation where we’re going deep on questions like: What will design in public spaces look like in the future? What do design firms need to know moving into 2024? And what is this futurism-meets-design project she’s been working on with Libby Castro? This episode is a must-listen for all entrepreneurs, small business owners, design professionals—and humans.
In this episode, you will:
- Learn futurist predictions for 2024 for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
- Uncover how designers can lead the charge against schismogenesis (and what that is).
- Discover the impact a futurist (like a designer) can have on a community and society.
