This panel will explore how deep uncertainty influences business, government policy, and societal decision-making about innovations. The discussion will focus on how strategic foresight can translate into actionable insights about risks and opportunities, especially for breakthrough innovators. The panel will highlight their discussion with examples that cut across economies to include transportation, communications, energy, bio-medical, and consumer offerings. You will learn a strategic systems approach to understanding emerging technologies and the shaping of the human-technology systems frontier. Our panelists continue the discussion initiated at the recent Workshop on Strategic Foresight, Deep Uncertainty, and Leadership.
