    Dear Colleagues,

    In the last episode of the 4Sight Chats Series, I had the privilege and honor to talk with Paul Schoemaker about organizational vigilance, foresight, and their role in business schools' pedagogy and research. Paul is an internationally renown expert, an entrepreneur, and an educator in the fields of strategy, innovation and decision-making. For many years, he has been affiliated with the Wharton school of the University of Pennsylvania. I hope that this conversation will be of interest to some of you.

    Chat outline:
    -What is organizational vigilance?
    -What is the difference between vigilance and foresight?
    -Why are organizations not vigilant?
    -Why is vigilance not taught in business schools?
    -Advice on how to research/teach vigilance in business schools
    -Paul's journey though scenarios at Shell and how to excel at scenarios

    The conversation is available in both video as well as audio-only podcast format:
