Listen to Wilson Wong, head of insights and futures at CIPD, speaking to Liz Mear, chief executive of The Innovation Agency part of the Academic Health Science Network.

They discuss Wilson's presentation to delegates at the NHS Confederation's 2018 annual conference, where he described the impact of futures methodologies and scenario planning on the future of work.

Wilson argues that paying attention to the drivers that are shaping our futures will enable us to put some shape to these futures and consequently act on any blind spots in strategic thinking. He also touches on how the NHS could apply futures methodology to its work, referencing Professor Topol’s review on the NHS Workforce.
