Vice President and Principal Analyst, Forrester Research

Interview starts at 12:02 and ends at 52:12

“We used Future Fitness to describe this concept, because we wanted to make it clear that it is not measuring a fixed attribute. This is not a personality trait. In fact, we avoid the word ‘trait’ deliberately, because although there are traits obviously related here, almost everything that we’re measuring is something that you can change--if you want to. If you want to become more future fit you can.”
