Rod Falcon

IFTF Advisory Services Program Director

Rod is the program director for IFTF's Advisory Services and has focused on providing strategic foresight on a ten-year time horizon to business, government, and community-based organizations for more than 25 years. He brings his extensive experience directing research and teams at IFTF to create insights about the future of technology, health, and work and he designs collaborative tools and processes needed to help organizations build the foresight capacity needed to anticipate and make sense of the emerging future. Additionally, Rod has a strong background in public health research and policy, as well as technology and society, and brings both U.S. and international experience conducting ethnographic futures research, interviewing and engaging everyday people as experts to think about and share their stories on the ways they face the future. Currently, Rod works with a range of future-ready organizations — including universities defining new strategic priorities and visions for higher education, city governments reimagining their public transit systems, and corporations seeking to understand the future of AI-enabled work and workers.
