H.G. Wells – Crackpot or Genius? ABC Far North

What is H.G. Wells Crackpot or Genius?

On this back of this infographic, ABC Far North’s Kier Shorey and I chatted about the inspiration and foresight HG Wells, and others like him, bring to the rest of us mere mortals with their ability to see what has not yet been created, hypothesise on what might be, challenge us .

How does H.G. Wells Crackpot or Genius affect strategic decisions in organisations?

When signals like H.G. Wells Crackpot or Genius emerge, organisations that engage early have the advantage of choosing their response rather than reacting to events. That gap between those who prepared and those who did not is where competitive positioning is actually made or lost.

What should business leaders understand about H.G. Wells Crackpot or Genius?

The most important question is not whether H.G. Wells Crackpot or Genius 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.
