Radio ABC International – Today Show

Morris Misel

Business Futurist | Foresight Strategist

If you’ve read this far, something probably connected.

Maybe it put words to something you’d been sensing but couldn’t quite land. Maybe it made something complicated feel clearer. Maybe it unsettled a position you thought you’d settled.

Good. That’s where this work lives.

Not forecasting. Not scenarios at 2050. Not more noise. What’s already moving. The shifts most organisations can’t yet see, name, or understand the full weight of. What it means. What to do about it while it’s still a possibility, not a problem. Short term and long.

Morris Misel has been doing this for 30 years across 160 industries, with boards, executive teams, and leadership groups in Australia and internationally. More than 2,800 engagements. Over a million people a year through conferences, boardrooms, and media.

What topics does Morris Misel typically discuss on ABC International radio programs?

On ABC International programs like the Today Show, Morris Misel discusses signals of change already shaping business, leadership, and work — not distant scenarios, but shifts already in motion. His commentary focuses on what organisations can see coming, what it means practically, and what decisions leaders should be making now rather than later.

How does a foresight strategist approach live radio commentary differently from traditional business analysis?

Radio commentary demands translation — taking complex shifts and making them immediately useful for a general audience. A foresight strategist brings a different lens: not just what happened or might happen, but what it means for real organisations and real people right now. The discipline is converting signals into plain-language insight with genuine practical weight.

What is the common misunderstanding about business foresight that media appearances often surface?

Most people assume foresight means prediction — being right about the future. It doesn’t. Foresight is about preparation: identifying the forces already in motion so organisations can make better choices before those forces become problems. Many leaders are still waiting for certainty before acting, which is precisely the wrong response to uncertainty.

How does ABC International reach audiences differently from domestic broadcast, and why does that matter for foresight content?

ABC International carries Australian voices and perspectives into global listening environments — communities, diasporas, and international audiences tracking Australian conditions. For foresight content, that reach matters because many of the forces reshaping business in Australia are playing out across the same global systems. The conversation has genuine relevance beyond borders.

What should organisations take away from public commentary on business trends and future signals?

Public commentary is a starting point, not a strategy. When a signal appears in broadcast media, it has already crossed the threshold from specialist knowledge into mainstream awareness. Organisations that wait for media confirmation have already lost lead time. The value of following a foresight strategist is developing the habit of noticing signals earlier, when there is still room to prepare and choose.
