What does a Futurist actually do?

Dr Patrick Dixon is contacted by TV, radio and press journalists around
200 times a year (up to 70 times in a single day) for comment on major
issues and trends. Here is a short film made as a result of one of
those calls.
            

SWR, the German
equivalent of the BBC, sent a film crew to London to follow Dr Patrick
Dixon over four days in December 2003. Dr Dixon has been ranked as one
of the 50 most influential global business thinkers alive today (Thinkers50). SWR came to find out what day to day life is like.

The
short film sequence joins Dixon at a government-sponsored think-tank on
global trends with 25 other analysts, at home in his own TV studio from
which he lectures to audiences in up to nine nations at the same time.
We then travel with Dixon to Dubai where he speaks about "The Spirit of
Success" at a major client event for Fedex / Times of India, and then
travels on, commenting on wider geo-political issues.
