Join me as I sit down with Shardul Phadnis and discuss everything from observing to testing reality, the ethicalities of scenario planning, and the various ways the scientific community works to understand our future realities. We present his chapter, Evaluating Effects of Scenario Planning: Lessons from Medical Research, in our newest book, Improving and Enhancing Scenario Planning: Futures Thinking volume, published by Edward Elgar Publishing.
