Futures Literacy and Strategic Foresight: Seeing Beyond the Obvious

The leaders who will shape the future aren’t the ones with the best predictions — they’re the ones who know how to think about the future differently.

Join the Foresight Lab us on May 13 for an interactive, high-impact webinar that will challenge how you see uncertainty, complexity and change — and give you practical tools to turn them into strategic advantage.

What to expect:

  • Futures Literacy: A Foundational Leadership Competency for the 21st Century — Introduction to one of the most powerful competencies leaders can build today
  • Interactive Futures Literacy Workshop — You’ll actively experience how futures thinking works in practice
  • Strategic Foresight in Action — How to apply foresight frameworks in uncertain times

This webinar is your first step toward building futures and foresight competence.

Hosted by Candice Chow, Director, Foresight Lab, DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University and Dr. Riel Miller, former UNESCO Head of Foresight and Futures Literacy.

 

This webinar is just the beginning. This session is a preview of the thinking, tools, and community at the heart of the Foresight Lab’s 2026 Conference — Agility in the 21st Century and our upcoming Executive Masterclass as well as Strategic Foresight Certification Program. Come experience it for yourself.
