Ep 2: JD D'Cruz and Scott Smith

What it costs to let go of the frameworks you helped build

Migrant labor and sovereign corridors, the slow death of multilateralism, performed strategy inside large institutions, and whether open-source foresight can make a difference when you can’t define the outcome.

Episode 2 guests: JD D’Cruz, seasoned sustainability strategist and former UN system leader now heading a global multi-stakeholder sustainable agriculture non-profit, and Scott Smith, co-founder of the 10F Consortium and managing partner of Changeist, range across the 10F forecasts and what it takes to keep reasoning clearly when the systems you helped build are coming apart.
