Sheryl Connelly, Global Consumer Trends and Futuring, Ford Motor Company kicked off the Prepaid Expo this afternoon with a Keynote address titled "Futurist: How to innovate for what you don't anticipate".
Here are some highlights from the session:
Wildcard Analysis: how do we predict the future? How can we deal with unplanned occurrences - Katrina, the recession, etc...
Trends: a deep rooted long held value or behavior. How do we study these trends to plan for the future?
Scenario Planning: a way to provoke new thinking, while entertaining every possibility. From a baby boom to an alien invasion, you need to think through every possible scenario as you look towards the future.
