Chris Marshall is a futurist, behavioral scientist, and author who is passionate about human potential, neurodiversity, future thinking, innovation culture, and behavioral science. With a career spanning over a decade in investment management, Chris has developed a fascination with understanding how uncertainty affects decision-making. He has pulled together his research and experience into his book, Decoding Change, which helps people understand how to better see the changes going on around us.
Chris's work as a behavioral scientist, executive coach, and consultant helps individuals, leaders, CEOs, and investment professionals manage their thinking and decision-making in fast-paced, complex environments. He believes that the effects of uncertainty on our thinking are vastly underappreciated, and we are about to move through a period of change and uncertainty like nothing we have seen before. His upcoming book, Pause, Pause, Move, provides a framework for navigating fast-paced change and is set to be released at the end of this year.
Chris encourages people to step back and gain a better perspective on the world, viewing it from a big-picture approach that weaves together multiple fields of understanding. He believes that innovation is not achieved through minor improvements but takes a radical turn and that curiosity is a superpower that can help us overcome anxiety, fear, and pessimism about the future.
In this episode of Transform NOW, host Michael Marchuk talks withChris Marshall, author of the book "Decoding Change: Understanding what the heck is going on, and why we should be optimistic about our future". Chris explores the causes and effects of the rapid changes happening in the world today and argues that these changes are not random or chaotic, but rather follow certain patterns and principles that can be understood and leveraged. These changes offer opportunities for positive transformation and innovation, rather than fear and despair. Listen in to catch Chris' insights and tools to help you navigate and thrive in the changing world.
Here’s what we talked with Chris about:
- How history can help put rapid changes around us into context
- How executives and managers can make sense of the multiple layers of geo-political, technological, and economic changes during their digital transformation journey
- How to apply "megatrend" thinking to the current changes happening in a digital transformation
