Your passion and curiosity can evolve into long-term strategy and present-day action.
Learn foresight techniques from world-renowned experts in this "life-changing" experience.
What this program is NOT:
Foundations in Natural Foresight is NOT a boring classroom training or leadership workshop.
It's not a giant tech conference with empty promises for "networking opportunities".
This program is:
A game-changer for long-term success bringing foresight to action in your job.
Long-term foresight action in your job, not some imagined person's job. Not exclusive to a vague future state. This program teaches you how to elevate your day-to-day, real life processes through a multi-faceted futures lens.
A jam-packed schedule of creative ideation exercises.
Along with your printed copy of the Natural Foresight framework textbook and certification study guide, all worksheets and scenarios are immediately useful back home.
You can become highly-skilled in your own ability to strategize, leverage change, and embrace complexity.
Here's what you won't receive from an AI-generated trend report, but you can expect from this course:
Future-empowered brand advice: The future is complex, but doesn't have to be complicated. Learn to craft stories to scale your brand, innovate better designs, and recruit talent.
Long-term strategic direction: Relief about the future starts in this program. Change is a constant, but disruption can be navigated through mapping multi-faceted strategy.
Life-long foresight skills: You need more than just an annual list of trends. You need to know how to fish, i.e. build capacity for foresight, so you can share this knowledge with the world.

Day 1 is about unlocking the futurist mindset.
"In just the first day, my mind was opened to the possibilities of the future and I received tools and frameworks to integrate the futures mindset into my everyday life." Tamarah Usher, Strategy Lead
“I left with a new level of comfort about uncertainty, freeing myself to do my part to create a future that aligns with my institution’s core values.”
Day 2: Equipped with your new mindset, you begin time-traveling to the future.
Day 3, when you can finally turn your vision into reality.
All of your research forms the building blocks of 2035.
You collaborate with your team to craft meaningful stories that illustrate how people will live and source their energy. Not just for one singular fragile look into the future, but across multiple immersive worlds.
Walk away with a custom solution for leveraging complexity and uncertainty into action-focused, tactical plans and strategies.
“Natural Foresight bridges the gap between these two apparently divergent worlds...
...the far-reaching, open-minded, creative-centric approach of futures development, and the fiscal-year, highly-focused, spreadsheet-driven business planning.
This was a truly exhilarating experience.”
Sergio Sperat, Principal
(And why should your company care about the Future of Media?)
