Combining futures thinking, systems thinking, and behavioral insights, Dr. Trish Lavery, Strategic Foresight Analyst, designs anticipatory policy and governance models for the OECD’s Office of the Secretary-General, Join us on Wednesday, January 11 at 8am PST / 16:00 UTC to learn about the toolkit Dr. Lavery is developing to stress test the OECD countries’ national climate strategies to arrive at net zero emissions. She’ll also share her experiences using foresight to identify potential disruptions from various geopolitical forces, why she thinks foresight is a great tool for breaking down the bureaucratic silos found in large organizations, and much more. As always, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with our guest.
Trish's team leads the adoption of futures thinking across the OECD. By leveraging her background in behavioural insights and climate science, she brings new perspectives to foresight and enables decision makers to consider and prepare for a wide range of possible futures. She joined the OECD following 10 years in the Australian Government's environment directorate, most of that time working as a behavioural insights practitioner. Prior to that, she worked in academia and modelled interactions between the marine biosphere and global carbon cycles.
