About IFTF's Foresight Studio
The Foresight Studio is built on a nearly 50 year foundation of futures work for corporations, governments, not-for-profit, and civic organizations. This studio offering, the Foresight Practitioner Training, is a nuts-and-bolts immersion in futures methodologies and tools. It is designed to help individuals and organizations grow their skills in the art and science of foresight—and to join a vibrant network of practitioners who can advance futures thinking in all kinds of organizations and communities around the globe.
The Foresight Practitioner Training is open to individuals, leaders, and teams who are ready and eager to establish or expand foresight in their organizations.
What to expect
The three-day Foresight Practitioner Training is a hands-on, workshop style event with intimate cohorts. It takes place at IFTF’s Future Gallery in Palo Alto, California. Led by top IFTF researchers, the training is designed to certify you as a futures thinker and facilitator.
Before arriving, you’ll complete a series of get-ready exercises on the theory and practice of fundamental futures thinking processes and IFTF’s Foresight-Insight-Action framework. While at the training, experiential activities will bring the foresight process to life as you apply your skills to specific organizational challenges.
