Chicke
Fitzgerald interviews Futurist, Edie Weiner. The original live interview was 9/7/12.
In FutureThink, two leading futurists reveal the breakthrough thinking
techniques they’ve developed to liberate the mind from its old
assumptions, and sensitize it to the earliest signals of change. Edie
Weiner and Arnold Brown show how to overcome both personal and
institutional biases, to see the big picture.
Learn how to
recognize when trends aren’t linear, and when tomorrow won’t be ‘just
like today’. The authors show how a football game can help clarify
priorities in attracting and retaining customers; how the history of
railroads can put the Internet into perspective; how the ‘Law of Large
Numbers’ helps one recognize the drivers behind such powerful forces as
deviancy and terrorism; and much more.
Edie Weiner is president
of Weiner Edrich Brown, Inc., a leading futurist consultancy based in
New York City. She has 30 years experience in issues analysis and
strategic planning, and was the youngest outside woman elected to the
Board of a major financial institution. She is a world-renowned
