Clem Sunter joined Anglo America in 1966 in London, through its gold division, then moved to its Zambia division and later moved with them to South Africa in 1973. Later he was tasked with devising different scenarios for future proofing the organisation.
In this Business Unusual podcast from the days of lockdown, the late scenario planner joined Ralf Fletcher to discuss what the future might hold. At the time, the pandemic had made the world incredibly vulnerable and they spoke of the importance of being like a fox: agile, adaptive and ready for change

How the relationship between the US and China drives the global economy
Income inequality and the role of entrepreneurs and SMEs in reducing it
Climate change and the responsibility we have towards nature
Conflicts between countries
