In this episode, Ann Marsh Rutledge, Executive Director of MV Ventures, and Jared Colley, Head of Learning and Innovation at Mount Vernon Upper Campus and Editor for Ventures R&D Reports, discuss the concept of "futures literacy." 

Emphasizing the importance of preparing for multiple plausible future scenarios rather than predicting a single future, Jared shares insights on scenario-based planning, a method used to build strategic resilience and adaptability in organizations.

As a bonus, this episode complements our Spring R&D Report (available at MVVentures.org) by providing practical steps for integrating futures thinking into organizational culture.
