Lynn女士是居住于中国上海的民族志学者与未来学顾问,拥有超过16年的经验。她是FuturistCircle和Future Matters的联合创始人,这两家机构致力于推动未来思维。她的未来研究之旅始于2018年,当时她参加了一场名为“火星之旅”的变革性工作坊,这改变了她仅仅专注于微观层面的人类行为研究的视角,转而探索更加宏观的、整体的未来思维。她曾与宜家、欧莱雅和梅赛德斯-奔驰等知名全球品牌合作,整合未来学和洞察力,以推动创新与可持续性发展。

Ms. Lynn is an ethnographer and foresight consultant based in Shanghai, China, with over 16 years of experience. She is the co-founder of FuturistCircle and Future Matters, two organizations aimed at promoting future thinking. Her journey into foresight began in 2018 after attending a transformative workshop called "Journey to Mars," which shifted her perspective from focusing solely on micro-level research into human behavior to exploring more holistic, macro-level future thinking. She has worked with renowned global brands such as IKEA, L’Oréal, and Mercedes-Benz, integrating foresight and insight to drive innovation and sustainability. 


她目前的一个重要项目是即将出版的新书 <Foresight into Action>,该书旨在提供将未来学与洞察力融入创新过程的实用方法论。Lynn女士强调,通过对市场环境的全面理解,适应不确定性并识别可持续机遇至关重要。此外,Lynn女士对幸福的概念有着浓厚的兴趣。她发起了一个名为“向幸福出发”的项目,通过研讨会和工作坊探讨在当今快节奏的世界中,真正的幸福意味着什么。她的研究指出,许多人追求物质成功,却没有反思什么才是真正能带来快乐的事物。

One of her current initiatives is the book, Foresight into Action, set to be released soon. This book aims to provide a practical methodology for integrating foresight and insight into innovation processes. Ms. Lynn emphasizes the importance of adapting to uncertainties by developing a holistic understanding of the market environment and identifying sustainable opportunities. Ms. Lynn has a profound interest in the concept of happiness. She initiated a project called “Regenerating Happiness”, where she conducts seminars and workshops to explore what true happiness means in today’s fast-paced world. Through her research, she highlights that many individuals pursue material success without reflecting on what genuinely brings them joy.

My personal thoughts

Aurora



在反思这一集与林女士的采访时,我发现她对未来思维的看法非常开阔。她将民族志研究与未来思维相结合,强调微观和宏观视角的重要性,这让我受益匪浅。她相信幸福源于内心,关注如何改变我们对幸福的理解,这与我产生了深刻的共鸣。她的话提醒我们,在追求物质成功的过程中,我们常常忽视了真正带给我们快乐的事物。

Reflecting on this episode’s interview with Ms. Lynn, I found her approach to foresight to be quite eye-opening. The way she merges ethnographic research with future thinking, emphasizing the importance of both micro and macro perspectives, overall, was very informative. Her belief that happiness stems from within, and her focus on shifting our understanding of it, resonated deeply with me, as an individual. Her words serve as a reminder that in the pursuit of material success, we often overlook what truly brings us joy.

此外,Lynn女士对国际学生的建议让我感到十分兴奋。她强调在全球意识和本地认知之间取得平衡,正如她所称的“glocal”思维方式,为我们在陌生环境中应对职业挑战提供了良好的框架。她对坚韧、好奇心和同理心的重视不仅适用于她的领域,还适用于所有学科。听到未来充满可能性且我们的责任是通过有意的探索去塑造它,着实让人充满动力。

Additionally, Ms. Lynn’s advice for international students (like myself) was quite exciting. Her emphasis on being both globally aware and locally informed — “glocal,” as she calls it — provides a good framework for navigating professional challenges in a foreign environment. The importance she places on resilience, curiosity, and empathy not only applies to her field but is relevant across any discipline. It was motivating to hear that the future is full of possibilities, and our role is to explore and shape it with intention.

Lynn女士的前瞻性思维为我们如何与未来接轨,同时保持对当下的关注提供了创造性的视角。她的见解提醒我们考虑如何定义成功和幸福,也许要接受一种更全面和更具韧性的心态。作为一名国际学生,她的建议既是指导,也是激励我保持好奇心、适应力,以及对未来无限可能的开放态度。

Ms. Lynn’s forward-thinking approach offers a creative perspective on how we can engage with the future while staying grounded in the present. Her insights remind us to consider how we define success and happiness, perhaps to embrace a more holistic and resilient mindset. As an international student, her advice serves as both a guide and a motivation to remain curious, adaptable, and open to the endless possibilities the future holds.
