Strategic Foresight 101 (Core Class)
Part of a Multi-day Foresight Master Class Series and Exclusive Certification Opportunity from Amy Webb, her team at the Future Today Institute (FTI), and SXSW. Learn more here.
Organizations face an unprecedented pace of technological change. Breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum computing, and other fields are accelerating exponentially. As these once-disparate technologies converge, organizations that fail to monitor closely, connect the dots, and proactively adapt may find themselves caught off guard seemingly overnight. Organizations wedded to the status quo won’t survive the shake up. It’s time to recognize threats and identify opportunities before it’s too late. Led by Future Today Institute’s Head of Computing and Technology Sam Jordan, attendees will learn about the origin of strategic foresight and the various models and methodologies that make up modern strategic foresight practices. This class will provide an overview of the strategic foresight practice and example business cases. Attendees will leave with an understanding of what foresight is, where it came from, and how to apply it. Attendees will be eligible for a Credential if they attend two of the three Core classes and one Elective class.
