Currently I am convenor of, and lecturer in, the Graduate Certificate of Strategic Foresight at Swinburne University in Melbourne, Australia.
My core interest is in developing foresight capability in individuals, and therefore organistions and groups, through the application of futures/foresight methodology and praxis. Adjacent interests are the use of Hope Theory when thinking about the future, and the intersection of leadership and foresight.
My company - Prospective Services - is a foresight consultancy that assists organisations to build thinking capacity and futures literacy. Working with all industries, for profit and not-for-profit, we develop organisational culture and direction by facilitating the development of powerful, motivating, images of preferred futures then assisting clients to plan present actions to achieve them. We also have developed workshops for personal futures and have undertaken scenario and visioning projects. |
