@berkun what do you propose to call professionals w/ professional training to strategically think about the future then? Honestly curious.
@berkun you'd be surprised. Not that many people think about (the long/er term) future. Also, many are narrow focused thusly miss co-impacts
@berkun I grant that one can be a self-taught futurist. But as someone who has gone through professional training, I can tell the difference
@berkun but this is a problem with the industry. Honestly curious to your perspective and potential solutions.
