How do we shape our tomorrow? Nesta talks to... Scott Smith

We all dream big when it comes to our future, but how can we make these dreams a reality?

As institutions, companies or individuals we can often neglect to reach our true potential because we lack the tools or knowledge to adequately landscape the path ahead.

Often, we focus too heavily on results and then stagnate in the present, missing out on the abundance of opportunities that are dotted on our horizon.

By developing an agile, flexible and innovative approach to future planning, we are better able to forge forward, engage others and cultivate habits that could illuminate fresh, ground-breaking possibilities.
