Designing the Future with Donna Dupont

Today on Experience by Design, we welcome Donna Dupont, Founder and Chief Strategist in Foresight and Design for Purple Compass. Donna helps companies explore what might happen in the future, creating ideas and plans to meet those challenges and opportunities. On this episode, we talk about the process of future and foresight planning, why it is important to maintain a sense of agency during times of massive change, the place and importance of emotion as part of our planning, why doing future planning can sometimes feel like therapy, and how the foresight planning process is a vital part of designing positive futures.

This is experience by design, a podcast that brings new perspectives to the experiences we have everyday. Does standing in line always have to suck? Why are airports so uncomfortable? What does it mean to be loyal to a brand? Why do you love being connected but dislike feeling tethered to your smart phone? Can we train people to care about the climate? Join Sociologist Gary David and Anthropologist Adam Gamwell on an expedition to the frontiers of culture and business through the lens of human experience. We're here to make sense of the madness with leading psychologists, cognitive and social scientists, entrepreneurs, and business leaders.
