The Future Report

The year 2025 marks not only the middle of the 2020s as a decade, but the beginning of a whole new generation of people. That’s right - from 2025 we will welcome Generation Beta into the world. Although people of this generation haven’t even been born yet, we can predict some things about them based on the context that will surround them. In today's episode, our host, Ashley Fell, sits down with McCrindle's Founder and Principal, Mark McCrindle, to introduce this new generation.

It is not uncommon for people to fear public speaking. Yet it is an important skill to hone. In today's episode, our podcast producer, Holly Schaaf, sits down with podcast host and professional speaker, Ashley Fell, as she shares some of her top public speaking tips.

At McCrindle, we are fascinated by people, including how they live, work, shop and engage with the world around them. One data set that reveals a lot about the living aspect is the RLB Crane Index, as it tells us a fair bit about where people live, why they choose to live in the places they do and a look into where growth areas are. In today's episode, our host, Ashley Fell, sits down with McCrindle's Director of Solutions (and McCrindle's Director of Cranes effectively!), Geoff Brailey, to discuss these insights.

Welcome back to another season of The Future Report podcast! At McCrindle, we love to talk about people in generations. Every time we conduct a study, it is the first place we go to see differences in responses. We believe in it. However, we also think it is important to consider the downsides or challenges of categorising individuals into generations. In today's episode, our host, Ashley Fell, sits down with McCrindle’s Managing Director, Sophie Renton, to explore and discuss the pros and cons of generational analysis.

The not-for-profit sector is a vital part of our communities. They support those in need, serve communities and shape nations. In today's episode, our host, Ashley Fell, sits down with social researcher and McCrindle's Managing Director, Sophie Renton, to discuss the insights from our latest not-for-profit report, exploring how, where, and why people give to charities.

Our Trends of 2024 tell a story of shifting perceptions, technological innovation, generational changes, and ultimately the unfolding future. In today's episode, our guest host, Holly Schaaf, sits down with social researcher and Future Report host, Ashley Fell, to explore two of our top trends for 2024 - community redefined and the grandparent economy.

For decades, charities have been making an impact and caring for those in need. The operating environment for organisations, however, is increasingly complex. Organisations are navigating technological change, tightening regulations and reporting, demographic and generational change, as well as rising cost-of-living pressures, which are altering the giving landscape. Understanding the psyche of donors, therefore, is critical to ensuring sustainability and future impact. In today's episode, our host, Ashley Fell, sits down with social researcher and author of our recent NFP report, Sophie Renton, to discuss the insights from this latest publication.
