Here’s an interview I did recently with House and Garden looking at what our kitchens will be like, what appliances we may be using and how, where and when we may be cooking and what we may be cooking on. published in House and Garden September 2014 edition.

The window between a signal arriving and it demanding a response is shortening. Future Kitchens is already shaping strategy conversations in forward-looking organisations. Treating it as a future concern rather than a present one builds a preparedness gap that will have to be closed under pressure.

The most important question is not whether Future Kitchens will matter, but how quickly it will matter in your specific context. Leaders benefit most from mapping the ripple effects early — not just the direct impact but the second and third-order consequences that arrive later and hit harder. That is the practical work of foresight.
