About the course
In challenging times, thinking about the future can be overwhelming. Most of us can only imagine a future that we know; one that we’ve experienced before in real life or through movies. We assume the business-as-usual future will continue, but when we are disrupted, it is often too late, we lack the skills and means to effectively respond, or we don’t have a compelling vision of the future to move toward. We are unable to adapt or create.
But a futurist gets out ahead of the disruption. A futurist expands what is possible by exploring alternative and preferred futures in a creative and collaborative way. In essence, a futurist uses the future to change the present, to solve tomorrow’s problems today. These are the leadership skills you will learn in this course “Become a Futurist – Futures 101 with Sohail Inayatullah”.
Join me on a journey through the world of Futures Studies, where I will share nearly 40 years of my experience as a futurist with you. By the end of it, you will have an understanding of Futures Studies and be well on your way to becoming a futurist, and a more flexible and transformative leader.
