Welcome to Episode 122 of the Think Forward Show!
In this insightful episode, I sit down with Joanna Lepore, who leads Global Foresight at McDonald's Corporation. From her journey as an "accidental futurist" to co-founding FIG (Foresight Insight Group), Jo shares how real transformation starts at the core and ripples outward.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why internal foresight capabilities are crucial for large organizations
- How to break through the "baggage" of corporate futures work
- The evolution of foresight from trend-spotting to strategic thinking
- The importance of combining art and science in futures work
Jo's approach challenges us to think differently about how organizations build futures capabilities, proving that sometimes the most powerful changes start from within.
