About Me:

I have a degree in foresight tools and methods, and also have a conventional business/management education, so I work especially to integrate foresight and classic management tools to help institutions not only anticipate and evaluate opportunities, but also innovate and transform to exploit them. My schedule at any time spans workshop facilitation, speaking, consulting, and writing, and I have also become involved as visiting faculty in strategy and leadership, teaching future studies to MBAs and executives at various business schools. My family incl small kids demand the rest, but if and when all have been mollified I do, sometimes, get to indulge myself at the end of a day playing the clarinet. My new book, “Future Savvy,” is published by the American Management Association (Amacom) Press, Sept 2008.
