EP 155: Herding Yaks - Venkatesh Rao

How can newly minted futures and foresight folk make their mark and attract the right work? What does it take to assemble an informal group of independent thinkers to collaborate at the frontier of change? Today’s guest is Venkatesh Rao - writer, consultant, and Yak Herder at the Yak Collective. To go further into Venkat's back catalogue, I have 3 book recommendations: - Tempo explores timing, tactics, and strategy in narrative-driven decision-making - The Gervais Principle is a internet cult classic using The Office to explore organisational dynamics, and a fantastically entertaining read - The Art of Gig - a 2 volume philosophical guide to the modern gig economy for independent consultants.
