Why you should have multiple plans for the future | John Puthenveetil | TED Institute

We’re constantly planning ahead but generally focused on just one outcome: the one we want most to be true. John Puthenveetil says we’d be better off imagining multiple scenarios -- and offers convincing examples from recent history to demonstrate why.
About the TED Institute: We know that innovative ideas and fresh approaches to challenging problems can be discovered inside visionary companies around the world. The TED Institute helps surface and share these insights. Every year, TED works with a group of select companies and foundations to identify internal ideators, inventors, connectors, and creators. Drawing on the same rigorous regimen that has prepared speakers for the TED main stage, TED Institute works closely with each partner, overseeing curation and providing intensive one-on-one talk development to sharpen and fine tune ideas.
