How is our fear of uncertainty holding us back? Could an acceptance and willingness to embrace the unknown unlock new potential and innovation?  Margaret Heffernan is a professor of Practice at the University of Bath, an entrepreneur, and a mentor to CEOs. Her books include Willful Blindness: Why We Ignore the Obvious at Our Peril, Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future, and most recently Embracing Uncertainty: How writers, musicians and artists thrive in an unpredictable world.Margaret and Greg discuss the importance of embracing uncertainty in business and life, the value of creative thinking, and the pitfalls of over-reliance on predictability and data models.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why dissent is the secret engine of creativity and better ideas34:46: Our obsession with efficiency means that we may prioritize management over productivity, and critical to productivity is diversity, debate, dissent, because this is how bad ideas get turned into good ideas. I mean, as a CEO I could waltz into work one day with an idea, which I thought was fantastic. And the great gift I was given were  a lot of employees who would think, "Oh God, here she comes back with another terrible idea," and say, "Well, I don't know. What if we did it like this? So what if we did it like that?...[35:31] But at the end of a very long process, you end up with something which started with my bad idea and gradually got a lot better because of everybody else's input, and turns out to be marvelous at the end. But that dissent is absolutely fundamental to the creative process.What's the relationship between being a noticer and being creative?39:11:  It's impossible to be creative without being a noticer, for a start. And I think that the great value of being observant and thinking about what you see is it keeps you much more in touch with what's going on in the world.The danger of mental models and the power of an open mind45:55: The danger of mental models is that they will attract confirming evidence and marginalize, or disguise disconfirming data. And so, the antidotes to that are certainly about having enough time to be in different places with different people who think differently. Having a sufficiently open mind to be prepared to notice this confirmation. Having an open mind prepared to change one's mind. And having, I guess, a way of thinking that tends more towards skepticism.Why embracing uncertainty means loosening up, not tightening down57:32:  Engineers talk a lot about tight and loose. I think much that has gone wrong in organizational life is a function of being too tight. And it sounds very counterintuitive because it is counterintuitive, but uncertainty requires that we loosen up in order to be able to respond more flexibly. And I think you are exactly right that pertains as much to us as individuals, as it does to the largest corporations in the world.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Gerd GigerenzerRichard S.

Margaret Heffernan, an entrepreneur, CEO, executive leadership coach, and author of six books, delves into her often counter-intuitive insights on consensus-building, and decision-making. She and Guy discuss her book, Uncharted: How to Map the Future, where she explains why attempts to predict the future, even with today's AI and Big Data technologies, are often doomed to fail. Instead, Margaret offers alternative strategies for organizations facing an uncertain future—strategies rooted in human creativity and resilience. Plus, the importance of recognizing your inner super chicken. Known for challenging conventional business wisdom, Margaret's perspective is a refreshing take on how to navigate the complexities of the modern world.

Sir Richard Evans, Margaret Heffernan, Isabel Oakeshott, Quassim Cassam join Anne McElvoy to look at the ideas shaping our lives today. Are they optimists or pessimists ? How negative should we be in political campaigning, doomscrolling, parenting, writing reviews or giving academic feedback. What are intellectual vices and how might they help us think about truth and conspiracy theories? And "Have a nice day" - we look at the demand to perform a role in the workplace.Professor Sir Richard J Evans is an historian of modern Germany and modern Europe, and has published over 20 books in the field, most recently The Pursuit of Power: Europe 1815-1915 and Eric Hobsbawm: A Life in History. In August his new book comes out called Hitler's People: The Faces of the Third Reich Margaret Heffernan is an entrepreneur, CEO and author of books including Uncharted: How to Map the Future Together and Beyond Measure: The Impact of Small Changes Quassim Cassam is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick. His books include Ekstremisme, The Epistemology of Democracy and Vice Epistemology. Isabel Oakeshott is an award winning British political journalist. Her books include The Pandemic Diaries written with Matt Hancock, Life Support: Farmaggedon written with Michael Ashcroft. Dr Jaswinder Blackwell-Pal is a Lecturer in Theatre and Performance Studies at Queen Mary University of London. She's been announced this week as one of 10 early career academics who've been chosen as the 2024 New Generation Thinkers – that's a scheme to share academic research on the radio which the BBC runs with the Arts and Humanities Research Council. You can hear from all ten in a special New Thinking episode of our Arts & Ideas podcast where you will also find episodes of Free Thinking.Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Studio Manager: Steve Greenwood

In this episode of Ambition. Unleashed. Sara Moore and Guest host Justin Temblett-Wood look into how leaders can take an approach of seeking exploration over the need for certainty. A willingness to believe in planning, but not plans, will free leaders from self-imposed prisons that restrict their ability to act and react in uncertain times. It requires bravery to step away from apparent certainty, and insight to understand that certainty is built on context and interpretation rather than reality. If leaders can throw off these shackles and embrace exploration and experimentation, then they will be well-equipped to prepare for, and benefit from, the unexpected and thrive rather than just survive in volatile times.

Organizations obsess over predictions and forecasting, but the only certainty there is about the future is uncertainty. In this Talent Angle podcast interview, Margaret Heffernan, author of “Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future,” explores how to operate with agility in times of uncertainty; arguing that the events with the greatest impact on complex systems — whether organizations or humanity — are often unpredictable. To better prepare for future uncertainty, she urges leaders and their employees to solicit the viewpoints of those around them for a holistic understanding of decisions and their consequences. *This episode is an excerpt taken from our 2020 interview.

In dieser Episode ist wieder Dr. Lukas Lang zu Gast. Wir sprechen über Data Science und Machine Learninig (auch »artificial intelligence« genannt). Das ist ein Themenbereich, der sehr viel Potential für unsere Zukunft hat, aber wie alle diese Themenbereiche auch eine Menge an Gefahren, Herausforderungen und Hypes generiert. Lukas ist ein perfekter Gesprächspartner für dieses Thema, weil er sowohl in der Spitzenforschung tätig war als auch in der industriellen Praxis mit diesen Themen beschäftigt ist. Diese Mischung scheint mir bei komplexen technischen Fragestellungen und Problemen sehr nützlich zu sein. Lukas hat nach seinem Studium der Informatik eine Promotion im Spezialgebiet Computational Science gemacht. Anschließend war er mehrere Jahre in der universitären Forschung im Bereich der mathematischen Bild- und Datenanalyse tätig, zuletzt an der Universität Cambridge. Seine Arbeit hat Anwendungen in der medizinischen Bildgebung, in der Molekular- und Zellbiologie, und in der Computer Vision. Derzeit leitet er den Geschäftsbereich »Data Science and AI« eines Spin-Offs des internationalen Industriekonzerns Voestalpine. Sein Team arbeitet an der Umsetzung von Daten-Projekten in der Erzeugung und Verarbeitung von Spezialmetallen, und am Aufbau eines globalen Data Science Programms für die Produktionsstandorte. Wir haben dieses umfangreiche Thema in zwei Episoden aufgeteilt: In der ersten Episode beginnen wir das Thema Data Science einzuführen, auch anhand einiger Beispiele, beginnend mit historischen Beispielen sowie Anwendungsfällen der heutigen Zeit. Wir spannen dabei den Bogen von Tycho Brahe und Florence Nightingale bis zu modernen Sprachassistenten und Entscheidungsunterstützung im Militär und zivilen Bereich. Dann gibt Lukas einen Überblick über wesentliche Prinzipien und Begriffe, die in diesem Zusammenhang immer wieder auftreten, wie Datascience, die Rolle der klassischen Statistik, Modellierung, Visualisierung, EDA, AI, KI, machine learning, multivariate statistik, Datenqualität und vieles mehr.  Wir sprechen dann über die These die seit einiger Zeit im Raum steht, dass man dank Daten und »AI« ja keine Modelle, keine Theorie mehr benötigt — The End of Theory —, sondern einfach aus Daten lernt und das wäre hinreichend für die wissenschaftliche Betrachtung der Welt. Wir diskutieren dann Möglichkeiten, Geschäftsmodelle und Grenzen von Machine Learning und Data Science. Wer trifft heute überhaupt Entscheidungen und was ist die Rolle und Funktion eines Data Scientists? Sollten Menschen immer das letzt Wort bei wesentlichen Entscheidungen haben? Ist das überhaupt (noch) realistisch? Welche Rolle spielen regulatorische Maßnahmen wie das aktuelle EU-Framework? In der zweiten Episode werden wir darauf aufbauend die Frage stellen, wie viel der aktuellen Behauptungen in diesem Feld Realität und wie viel Hype ist. Was können wir in der Zukunft zu erwarten — sowohl im positiven wie auch im negativen? Was sind dominierende Forschungsfragen und wo Grenzen liegen, unerwartete Effekte auftreten, und welche ethischen Fragen durch diese neuen Möglichkeiten zu diskutieren. xkcd Cartoon Konkret gibt es das Spannungsfeld zwischen Datensparsamkeit und der Idee alles zu sammeln, weil wir das irgendwie in der Zukunft für uns nutzen können. Aber will der Data Scientists überhaupt in Daten untergehen? Führen mehr Daten zu besseren Entscheidungen? Wir diskutieren wieder anhand konkreter Beispiele für gute und problematische Anwendungen wie predictiver Policing, Mapping und »KI« für militärische Dronenpiloten. Welche individuelle Verantwortung leiten wir daraus für Techniker ab? Wie geht Lukas selbst mit diesen Herausforderungen um?  Referenzen Lukas Lang Persönliche Webseite von Lukas Andere Episoden Episode 40: Software Nachhaltigkeit, ein Gespräch mit Philipp Reisinger Episode 37: Probleme und Lösungen Episode 32: Überleben in der Datenflut – oder: warum das Buch wichtiger ist als je zuvor Episode 31: Software in der modernen Gesellschaft – Gespräch mit Tom Konrad Episode 25:Entscheiden unter Unsicherheit Episode 19: Offene Systeme – Teil 1 und Episode 20, Teil 2 Episode 6: Messen, was messbar ist?

Dr. Margaret Heffernan is the author of six books including Willful Blindness: Why We Ignore the Obvious At Our Peril and Uncharted: How to Map the Future and Professor of Practice at the University of Bath. Margaret also has a TED Talk called The Human Skills We Need in an Unpredictable World which has been viewed over 3.6 million times. Before getting involved in business Margaret produced programs for the BBC for 13 years. She is currently Lead Faculty for the Forward Institute's Responsible Leadership Programme and she also mentors CEOs and senior executives at major global organizations around the world. While Margaret was writing Willful Blindness and a short book for TED called Beyond Measure she noticed that she kept having weird conversations with people who were asking her a lot of questions about the future. What's going to happen with Brexit? What's going to happen with Trump? Will there be another banking crisis? And it was during this time that Margaret realized that most people do not know how to think about the future. People tend to think that a select few lucky people are able to see into the future and give us all updates on what will happen next. But in reality, the future is unknowable, there aren't any special keys to use or doors to look behind to find out what's next. And in thinking about this she came across Philip Tetlock's research on forecasting, which showed that if you are consistent with your study of the future if you read a very broad cross-section of impeccable sources, and if you keep up with each forecast perfectly the farthest out you can see accurately is 400 days. But since most of us are not as consistent or rigorous as that, most of us can accurately forecast 150 days in the future. Which means the way most organizations plan with 3-year plans, 5-year plans, and even sometimes 30-year plans, is a very inaccurate and ludicrous way to go about it. “This is madness, the way we've been--everything about the way we've been teaching, management does not work. If the first part of forecasts, plan, execute, doesn't work. And we're going around using a 20th century, maybe even 19th-century mindset in the 21st century, and no wonder things are going horribly wrong.” And that is why she wrote her book Uncharted. Should we forget about forecasting altogether? Since the way we are forecasting is completely wrong, should we still do it? Should we continue thinking about the future? Margaret believes that absolutely, we should be thinking about the future and forecasting, but we have to be humble about how accurate we are likely to be. And she says we have to start asking different questions. We also have to realize that there is a difference between complicated and complex. Complicated things are things that can repeat and can be predicted. Complex things are unpredictable--even if they seem simple. That's because there are a lot of different forces acting on these things which then causes constant change. In complex environments, Margaret says you have to do two things. First, you have to forget about efficiency, because that will strip you of the capacity to respond. You have to think about preparation instead of planning. And second, you have to think about what high-impact events have a high likelihood of happening. What are some things that you can't predict, but you can prepare for because there is a good chance it will happen. Think about what things could really undo your business and do what you can to cushion yourself against that as best as you can. What role does data play in decision-making? Data is very useful to have, but only if you know how to use it and if you know the best questions to ask. Data in the hands of someone who doesn't understand it can be dangerous. Margaret says that data is a powerful tool in scenario planning. It can help you to see all of the possible stories that could occur and it can help you plan for each one. “The difficulty comes, I think, with a lot of executives who want certainty. And so they think they get to choose a narrative, right? But you don't get to choose, you only get the option of thinking about it ahead of time. So that they find it difficult, and many of them simply find it too hard to conjure up different narratives. So it's partly that their biases overwhelm them. But it's also that you can take any data set, and we have quite an optimistic and quite a pessimistic story. And so surprise, you know, they generally find the optimistic one. And they find all kinds of reasons why the really truly bad one couldn't possibly happen.” One thing that Margaret truly believes executives need to work on is their lack of imagination. Leaders cannot look at the world in a two-dimensional way, we have to be able to look at the good, the bad, and the ugly in order to properly navigate the future. Leaders could have been planning for a big event like the pandemic, but a lot of them didn't, and a lot of them, even now, are not preparing for other extreme possibilities. Leaders need imagination in order to think ahead to what kind of future they want to create. “It dismays me that we have this fantastic opportunity now to reimagine work. And that makes most so-called leaders so anxious that they would rather cut, pop, go right past the creative part of that exercise and start thinking about how much square footage do we need? How many desks, how many chairs? But if you do that, and then later you decide I want this kind of future. You may not, you know, you've got the wrong furniture in the wrong offices, you know, you've really got to be able to lift your head out from the weeds and think long term about what is going to make our organization meaningful to the world long term. What kind of people are up for that? And how do they want to work? And when you've done that really well, then the desks and chairs will be the easy part.” How can leaders think more creatively about the future? As Margaret shares, most leaders have been trained in a 20th-century mindset, which is about cause and effect and it's about complicated versus complex. Most leaders spend too much time looking at spreadsheets and figuring out 2%-3% adjustments when true foresight and planning takes a lot more creativity than that. Planning for the future isn't about sitting in your chair and looking at data. It's about argument, debate, and discussions. It's not something that can be done quickly, it takes a lot of time and effort. In her book, Margaret uses the example of Cathedral projects, which is a phrase of Stephen Hawking's. All of the cathedrals of the Western World were started by people who knew they would not live to see them finished. These buildings have evolved over generations and have constantly incorporated new technologies, materials, and aesthetics. The people working on them stop and ask themselves what does the world need from us right now. And a lot of leaders can learn from that type of mindset. “There's a bank in the UK whose purpose statement is ‘To help Britain flourish'. Now, I don't know what that means. I mean, you could say they could be a gardening center. They could be a health care center. They could be pet breeders, they could be any darn thing. So this is, I mean, sadly, corporate comms just got the idea of purpose between its teeth and ran away with it. But I think this need to have a genuine soul-searching debate about what makes us meaningful to the world, what earns us our license to operate, is sorely needed in most organizations.” What can leaders learn from artists? Margaret has always been fascinated with how artists work because so many of them seem ahead of their time. So how do they seem to look into the future and create such relevant pieces? One of the biggest reasons they are so ahead of their time is because they take time to observe and take notice of things around them. They ask questions, they take things in, and they take risks. They also tend to change before anyone asks them to. Leaders can learn a lot from artists. Take time to look around you. Ask things like what am I seeing and what does it mean to me? What patterns am I starting to see? What's going on in the world right now? As Margaret says, generally we see what we're looking for, and we miss everything else. We have to give ourselves time to let our minds wander, we have to be curious, we have to go in new directions, and allow ourselves to sit in silence and think.

“The capacity of uncertainty to power change, you only really capture if at least you start, not because you know you can do it, but because you simply can’t bear the idea of not trying” Margaret Heffernan In this conversation, I connected with Margaret Heffernan around the question of how uncertainty can power change.  Margaret is an entrepreneur, CEO, writer and keynote speaker. She is currently a Professor at the University of Bath School of Management in the UK. Heffernan is the former CEO of five businesses and is the writer of six books. Her third book, Willful Blindness was named one of the most important business books of the decade by the Financial Times. Her TED talks have been seen by over 12 million people. And her most recent book, Uncharted: How to map the future was published in 2020, which formed the basis of this conversation.  We talked about: Is certainty necessarily good and uncertainty always bad? When faced with complexity what should we do instead of optimising for efficiency? What could we build now to transcend a human lifespan? How do we form regenerative societies?  To find out more about Margaret please visit: http://www.mheffernan.com/  To find out more about Liminal please visit: http://www.weareliminal.co/

Margaret’s latest book, Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future, is not only fascinating but very timely. Margaret says we can step back and learn from the very visceral experience of uncertainty that the COVID-19 pandemic threw our way.

In an extraordinary conversation about a world that has moved from complicated to complex, Dr. Margaret Heffernan discusses her latest book - Uncharted - How to Map the Future Together.   Margaret produced programmes for the BBC for 13 years. She then moved to the US where she spearheaded multimedia productions for Intuit, The Learning Company and Standard&Poors. She was Chief Executive of InfoMation Corporation, ZineZone Corporation and then iCast Corporation, was named one of the "Top 25" by Streaming Media magazine and one of the "Top 100 Media Executives" by The Hollywood Reporter.   The author of six books, Margaret’s third book, Willful Blindness : Why We Ignore the Obvious at our Peril was named one of the most important business books of the decade by the Financial Times.

[7:35] There’s such a pride in efficiency in business. It’s been this way since the industrial revolution. [12:35] Margaret agrees with Jim and Jan that the leaders she’s seen are naturally curious people. [15:10] Margaret shares some of the “soft” characteristics needed to get a team stronger and better than before. [18:00] Successful teams need to invest a lot of time getting to know one another. [21:20] People are more afraid of losing power/control than accountability in a team. [22:35] The more frightened an employee is, the worse they’ll perform, and they certainly won’t be creative. Organizations are still using these outdated fear tactics. [25:55] Margaret wished someone had told her in her younger days, “to not take it personally,” especially at the beginning of her career. [26:55] Something might be personal, but if you respond to it like it isn’t, then you’re in a much better position. [29:25] Reality TV really skews reality. It’s geared to show us the worst ways to team up. [31:50] When you act like a superstar, you end up alienating everyone who could have made you a superstar. [34:25] If you’re the person who speaks all the time in meetings. Just keep quiet during one of them and observe what happens. [38:00] Most organizations sit inside a vast ecosystem that you do not have any influence over. That doesn’t mean you’re absolutely helpless in your career, though. [42:10] We are currently sitting in an inequality crisis and an unemployment crisis. We have to think long-term or else we won’t survive. [44:55] You can think about impact and likelihood, but you can’t actually put physical numbers or “data” against it because it won’t mean anything when the final result comes. [48:35] Listener challenge: Contribute greater than you consume.   Quotable Quotes   “It’s like we can’t believe anything unless we’ve measured it.”  “Many of the things we need the most are fundamentally immeasurable.”  “Creativity is immeasurable.”   “What can you tell me that I don’t know?” “We’re so keen to control things that we reduce them in our own heads.” “I think we have to recognize in a team, part of what you owe to the team is bring something that no one else in the team has. That’s how the team gets stronger.” “At the beginning of one’s career, and when one is young, everything is personal. When you don’t take it personally, you’re in a position to respond so much better.” “Hyper-competitive people generally do very poorly in life. They do poorly because they don’t make friends, they don’t have allies, and they generally don’t fit into networks.”   Resources Mentioned Sponsored by: Pass-life.com. Coupon Code: Duty.

In this conversation, Margaret Heffernan, one of the UK's most highly regarded thought leaders talks with Gillian Tett, US editor-at-large and chair of the editorial board of the Financial Times about embracing uncertainty. They discuss whether an individual's past experiences influence their ability to adapt to an uncertain future; reflect on the connection between creativity and unpredictability, and why the nature of the arts industry enables creatives to better deal with unprecedented times; and delve into Margaret's new book ‘Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future,' which provides the tools needed to face the future with confidence and courage.

Has our discomfort with uncertainty given rise to forecasting industries that profit off our “prediction addiction.”? Why election predictions, polls, and surveys won't tell us who will win? To what extent are predictions really just hypothesis that need to be challenged? Join host Michael Keegan as he explores these questions and more with Margaret Heffernan author of Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future.

Do you have a crystal ball to show you the future? I'm going to guess the answer is no. Yet, according to Margaret Heffernan, we think the future is hiding just behind the curtain, like in the Wizard of Oz. However, if you peek, there is nothing behind the curtain. The future is unknowable. Margaret is the author of Uncharted – How to Navigate the Future. Given that we can't know what is going to happen, she and Kevin discuss how we can be open to the fact we cannot predict the future. Data can only take us so far, and that is not who we are. Goals can be good, and we need to be careful not to turn them into a step by step process, which can narrow our focus. We can use goals to make us more observant and look for the opportunities to give us the future we want.

Today I spoke with Dr Margaret Heffernan about her latest book, Uncharted: How to Map and Navigate the Future Together (Simon and Schuster, 2020). Margaret produced programmes for the BBC for 13 years. She then moved to the US where she became a businesswomen. She is the author of six books and a successful TED Talk speaker. She is also a Professor of Practice at the University of Bath. In her 2012 TED Talk, ‘Dare to disagree', she told the story Alice Stewart. This is the story of how clear, certain medical data, are not always enough to change rapidly our professional rules and personal habits. In her 2019 TED Talk she argued that the more we rely on technology to make us efficient, the fewer skills we have to confront the unexpected. That's why we need less technology and ‘more messy human skills - imagination, humility, bravery - to solve problems in business, government and life in an unpredictable age'. In her new book, she explores the people and organizations who aren't daunted by uncertainty: ‘We are addicted to prediction, desperate for certainty about the future. But the complexity of modern life won't allow that; experts in forecasting are reluctant to look more than 400 days out'. Uncertainty is clearly an important construct in both macroeconomics and behavioural economics. This book starts with an anecdote on the early life of a great American economist, Irving Fisher. His swimming accident and the discovery of his tuberculosis contributed to the development his research interest in stability and monetary economics. Ranging freely through history and from business to science, government to friendships, this refreshing book challenges us to resist the false promises of technology and efficiency and instead to mine our own creativity and humanity for the capacity to create the futures we want and can believe in.

Margaret Heffernan is a Texas-born, Cambridge educated author, former media CEO, award-winning journalist, and BBC documentary maker whose TED Talks have been viewed more than twelve million times. Her six previous books include Willful Blindness, which was named one of the most important business books of the decade by the Financial Times. In this podcast with Martin Reeves, Chairman of the BCG Henderson Institute, she discusses insights from her forthcoming book, Uncharted: How to Navigate the Future. Heffernan argues that the future is inherently unpredictable and, as such, we really need to stop force-fitting models for prediction onto business strategy and elsewhere, as doing so only provides us with a false sense of certainty and security. Instead, she argues, the right approach is to embrace uncertainty and use scenario planning, experimentation, and imagination. She discusses several domains (art, military intelligence, “cathedral” projects like CERN) where acceptance of uncertainty and using creative approaches has led to great success. *** About the BCG Henderson Institute The BCG Henderson Institute is the Boston Consulting Group's think tank, dedicated to exploring and developing valuable new insights from business, technology, economics, and science by embracing the powerful technology of ideas.

Margaret Heffernan, a writer and former CEO, talks to Rob about her latest book, Uncharted: How to Map the Future Together, on the art of thinking about the future in the context of uncertainty

The Indiana Conference for Women is excited share a unique opportunity for you to engage with Margaret Heffernan, author of the upcoming book “UNCHARTED: How to Navigate the Future”.  This one hour podcast is moderated by ICFW Co-Founder Deborah Collins Stephens.  Margaret gives us what we need now to inspire us with confidence about a future that isn't mired in delusion or false certainty. She urges us not to give up on learning about the future... we need to replace false prophecy with bold inquiry, objective experimentation and energetic discovery. Instead of pretending to be fortune tellers, we need to act like artists who defy predetermined paths and dare to imagine what they can't see.  “It doesn't matter where we start, only that we do.”Record from a live webcast on June 3, 2020.

Businesswoman and author Margaret Heffernan writes about leadership and strategic thinking. Her latest book Uncharted: How to Map the Future is about the pitfalls of forecasting. In it she argues that societies and businesses should develop a better kind of readiness that doesn't rely on the false sense of security such forecasts bring. Published in February, the book eerily foretold the current crisis, using historic pandemics as an example of how difficult it is to predict the outcome of complex events.

In this episode, I speak with Margaret Heffernan, the author of a timely new book called "Uncharted: How to Map the Future Together". In it, she explores the ways in which we naturally seek certainty, yet we know from experience that the world is far from certain.By adopting approaches that are outlined in teh book, we can embrace uncertainty and be more successful. On the podcast, we explore the book and the ideas behind it.You can firm out more about the book here: https://www.mheffernan.com/book-uncharted.phpFor more on Margaret, visit her website: www.mheffernan.com

Heaven & Earth 310 Written by Luke Schelhaas Directed by David Moore   My first impressions (with some links of interest) are below, to hear my deeper thoughts, you'll need to click and listen to the podcast. Enjoy! Starz Synopsis: Claire races to discover the source of an epidemic aboard a disease-stricken ship before hundreds of sailors die. And as Jamie locks horns with Captain Raines, Fergus finds himself torn between loyalty and love. My Summary: Due to the typhoid outbreak, Claire is pressed into service aboard The Porpoise. Fergus is a romantic. The Porpoise sets sail. Jamie loses his mind at the captain for not pursuing the ship and winds up in the brig. Claire gets a keen helper and turns The Porpoise into a floating hospital. Fergus refuses to help milord escape. Jamie is frantic and once again vomiting. Claire finds patient zero. Claire meets goat lady. Claire learns an arrest will be made. Claire threatens a man. Claire's first escape is foiled.  Jamie is an arse to Fergus. Fergus still refuses to help with the cockamamie scheme. Claire loses helper. Marsali has a plan to free Jamie. Jamie gives his blessing. Claire escapes. How it played: Jamie ever vigilant, watches The Porpoise and sharpens his dirk. Enough with the horseshoe already. Fergus cannae give a posy, so a sachet it is. Queue: AWWWWWW Jamie. It's not all about you. Buh Bye Porpi. Like a T Rex Jamie goes stomping and thrashing. And chewing scenery. Um Jamie, I hate to tell you, Raines is the Captain, not you man. Cap'n Raines is not yer bitch. So, when did you become an expert on sails Jamie? Damn right you do Captain. Well now Jamie you've just assaulted the Captain. My penis err my weapon is bigger than yours. Now look what you've done, you're in the brig. Dear Hayes, why you a camera hog? Silk sail? These decks are so clean, you could eat off them. When you've had a wee too much booze… You moron, it's mostly vomit. You are questioning Surgeon Claire's AUTHORITAH buddy boy. Elias Pound that's right you tell ‘im. R-E-S-P-E-C-T Clean hands for all! Grog in lieu of pure alcohol. Claire do you have to yell at sweet Elias? I want to put Mr. Pound in my pocket. Keep your fingers out your mouth boy. Calm and cool Claire. Brownie points to Elias. Scots to the distilling Claire is playing a game of would you rather with the cook. The cook was calling the Scots whores (slags). You tell him Elias. Smug Claire is smug. I can feel Claire's hands cracking as the pure alcohol dries on her hands. Maybe instructing Elias on the ways of germ management BEFORE he started helping you… He's 14. A wee bairn. Night night Quigley. The overwhelm is palpable. In search of patient zero. The script is so beautiful in the log. I wonder who wrote it out. They're dead Jim, all of them. Howard is Typhoid Mary. At least he didn't call her a whore. FRASER why did they use their real name? And more vomiting Jamie. This episode reminds me of the wee hours of the morning after a huge party. Seriously Jamie, those men are going to hurt her? Your machismo is showing. The rat's nest for hair he does. Man, you wreak of desperation and vomit. That's one stupid ass plan. Go back to your bucket. Insert eye roll. Ack this is painful. Cool your tits Jamie. Now you're just being a dick. Fergus is right. Your pain doesn't mean you get to be mean. Now you're blackmailing him? Gah Jamie. STAHP. Looks like Giovanni Ribisi in that there shroud. The dark side of nasal piercing. Claire is getting worn down. Who else recited the Lord's Prayer with Leonard? Even Claire joined in. Top a-hole move cook man. I was expecting Doctor Who to show up right then. And Elias to the rescue yet again. Pound sand Cosworth. What he said…. Book readers I know, I know. I know who is supposed to be hear right now. It's okay. Put a bit here and there. Compartmentalizing is what it's about. Another rabbit reference. The theme of the season. The quick bond between Elias and Claire is lovely. Oh, and he has no mommy. ANNEKJE!!!!!! Dumbass drank the pure alcohol. That's going to hurt in the morning. Claire's cool has left the fucking building. Goat's milk for the win. I spy a Portuguese flag. Oh Claire, you ought not go in there. Not the Bruja. But she finds damning information logged about Jamie. It's a trap. Who's the Tompkins? Ugh threatening a fake rape scream. Claire, you could do better. Who's the hoor now Marsali…hm? Pretty hot though. They have chemistry. Better make sure the flag is down before you're walking about Fergus. Elias looks awful. Claire is crafting a plan. Spymaster Fergus Drum Roll Tompkins is THE ONE-EYED MAN. It's getting little shop of horrors up in here. He's the one who fought with Young Ian and worked for Sir Percival. Crème de Uh Oh. Better than death, she put him with the source. I smile like that when someone hands me cheese. Annekje the ally. “My goats needs grass.” Touché Fergus. The epidemic is contained. Happiness returns in music. Claire searches for Elias and…noooooooo “Mother?” Sniff. No, you cried ugly tears. Book fans, I KNOW, I KNOW. It's not him here either. Goats plus grass equals escape. But wait there's more. Damn you Leonard. Foiled. Sweet Jamie has the photos. Marsali hatches a plan. Yer word will set ye free. Jamie stop being a whiner. Schooled by the stepdaughter. FINALLY blessing given. JHRC Claire listen to Annekje and jump! Bloody hell Claire, do it. Now! Besides Claire's mad skills, Elias Pound, Fergus, and Annekje are the clear heroes of this episode.
