Testimonials

What our alumni are saying:

“The program’s live-online format supported my efforts by sharing and seeing how others utilized Strategic Foresight, I was better able to apply that thinking to my own design approach.”

Craig Mellot Innovation Manager, Play Power

“What if I hadn’t had these ‘create a better world’ exercises, immersed alongside such a diverse and discerning global cohort, to look forward to every other Thursday in mid-2020? I’m certain my wellbeing would be much diminished from what it is now! In this way, the generative nature of this workshops series was nothing short of an existential gift, literally anchoring me in purposeful possibility and the spirit of oneness with like-visioned others during a uniquely bleak period for us all.”

Ann Odell Freelance Creative Strategist, Certified Foresight Practitioner
