In Episode 4 of The TomorrowToday Podcast, Buhle and Graeme dive into an interesting conversation about understanding the trends shaping the future.Graeme and Buhle discuss the TIDES framework, through which we can examine disruptive change and then adapt our strategic business approaches. Being ready for the future and thinking like a futurist is not about knowing exactly what’s going to happen in the future.
