Our stream of consciousness conversations run the full gambit of emotions in the strategy space, from joy to cringe! Join me as I sit down with two of the most prolific researchers in scenario planning, Nicholas Rowland, Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the Pennsylvania State University and Matthew Spaniol, Senior Researcher of Strategic Foresight in the Department of People and Technology at Roskilde University. We discuss their chapter, Examining Emotion in the Facilitation of Scenario Planning, in our newest book, Improving and Enhancing Scenario Planning: Futures Thinking volume, published by Edward Elgar Publishing. Thank you for joining us in this fun little chat.
