Making sense to survive and thrive in a complex and turbulent world.
Salience is the state, quality or signal that stands out. It’s the difference that makes the difference. Each fortnight in the salience podcast we uncover patterns of sensemaking, thinking and acting from the frontiers of human performance, science and art to provide new and improved ways of acting in complex and uncertain times.
When something, a state, quality or signal of some kind stands out from the clatter and noise, that is Salience.
The Salience podcast is a fortnightly dive into the frontiers of advanced human performance. Host Dr Ian Snape interviews expert guests and game-changers from the world of science, art, sports, business and defence, to discover how we can all become better at surviving and thriving in complex and uncertain times.
