In this episode of Looking Outside we venture into dark futures with global futurist Nikolas Badminton, crossing over the line of realism into dystopia.Nikolas spent 30 years at the front line of emerging futures, aiding organizations and governments in the anticipating risks that lie ahead and shaking people out of unrealistic expectations. He says now he is hired to do the type of work he'd normally get fired for, as, often, Nik is tasked with telling people the future they are excited about is not going to happen, and prompting frank conversations. He uses ‘impossible' scenarios to paint preposterous futures, those ideas about the future that appear ridiculous, in order to bring people out of their self interests or away from a yearning for nostalgia.While positive futures are important, Nik says facing into the fact that ‘bad stuff does exist' is the important starting point. We often see plans or goals that are so far out, particularly in government policies, that are psychologically disconnected from the people planning them and therefore aren't designed to provide anything tangible enough to motivate people to act. Jo and Nik also discuss the need to help organizations see beyond the ‘garbage' that is out there about emerging risks and trends, often sensationalized, by painting change as accretive, with layers of complexity constantly building, instead of as hinging on a ‘switch' from one state to another. Nik describes the need to bring people into future states by first taking them into the hybrid state where things are transitioning, seeking out evidence of the future to provide the missing link between disruption and strategy. Often we hear change is happening faster than ever before, but Nik counters that; “If you think things are happening quickly you're not paying attention”.--To look outside, Nik moves away from his work quite literally by cycling around Toronto's water parks and trails, while listening to music or a podcast. He says through this, his thoughts become clearer and he is happier. --Nikolas Badminton is a global futurist speaker and Chief Futurist that mentors top executives and the highest levels of government to explore desirable futures, anticipate unforeseen risks, and strengthen strategic planning.

Ep 227 Nikolas Badminton The Future   There is an adage that warns against making predictions, especially if they have anything to do with the future. It’s a fun way to protect yourself against unforeseen factors that can change the course of history and quickly.   The benefit of science and data research is we can see and document current trends. There  people, like futurist Nik Badminton, who study that information and project potential outcomes. The predictions have been remarkably accurate. Nikola Tesla predicted Wi-Fi in 1909, Jules Verne foresaw a man on the moon back in 1865, and what about Ray Bradbury? He foretold of earbuds in 1953, and Edward Bellamy envisioned debit cards way back in 1888.   Even still, few envisioned the world we live in today – well, except for Gene Roddenberry, who envisioned the communicator and tricoder and warp drives and the granddaddy of them all, the “Beam Me Up, Scotty” transporter.   That begs the question: what is in the near future for us? We invited futurist Nik Badminton to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the ways in which our world will change in a radical and creative ways.   Simon Fraser University’s Centre for Dialogue presents Conversations That Matter. Join veteran Broadcaster Stuart McNish each week for an important and engaging Conversation about the issues shaping our future.
