Good Morning April - Exploring possible futures

This episode of the podcast is about futures thinking - and the approach and toolbox.
The guest on the podcast is Carsten Beck, a Danish futurist. He has been working with trend analysis and scenario processes as a Director of research at Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies for more than 30 years in more than 30 countries.
Carsten strives to help us understand how global and local trends shape the future for organizations, companies, and societies. His focus is how to drive processes for clients in order for THEM to prepare for the future.
Today’s co-host is Martin Ellemann Olesen, Co-Founder at Good Morning April - and host for this season is Erik Korsvik Østergaard, also Co-Founder at Good Morning April.

The fourth episode is about the future of organizations: The mechanisms, the culture, the structure – and a bit on how to get there.
This is not a classic debate about flatter and more agile organizations, but more in the line of a multitude of local variations of the organizational designs.
In the episode we discuss the pluralism of futures of organizations: Diversity in methodologies, diversity in needs, diversity in how hard and fast the trends affect them, diversity in cultures – and the how the many nuances lead to friction.
We hope to inspire you to explore and evaluate your own possible futures.
Co-host on the episode is Tore Nielsen.
Get yourself a cup of coffee – and explore!

This episode of the podcast is about building a modern business unit with self-management inside an otherwise traditional corporate organization.

In the episode we present the two types of content in the podcast series, namely (a) Cornerstone content, that goes in-depth with a single topic in the melting pot of The Future of Work, New Ways of working, Futures thinking, futures literacy or change management – and (b) interviews with guests from all around the globe, sharing their views on the future of work.
We also introduce a regular feature in the podcast, where the co-host brings a signal with them, which we discuss and evaluate ... because the whole point of the podcast is to explore and evaluate possible futures. And that starts with the signals.
Today’s co-hosts are Puk Duerlund Falkenberg and Tore Nielsen, both Co-Founders at Good Morning April - and host for this season is Erik Korsvik Østergaard, also Co-Founder at Good Morning April.

The theme for this season is to investigate the futures for organizational design.

Why is it so relevant these years? How do we handle money and decision making? Is the organizational design a mirror of the leadership culture? Are organizational designers the heroes of this decade?
