Featured project: School of International Futures

 

Policy-makers and business leaders make better decisions when informed by strategic foresight, resulting in greater prosperity, security and well-being. Foresight provides a way of addressing uncertainties associated with demographic, environmental, economic and resource challenges, and the increasing interconnectedness of societies and nations.

 

Catarina Tully co-founded The School of International Futures (SOIF) in 2012. SOIf helps governments and other organisations work towards such goals, informed by the art and science of strategic foresight. It develops international networks and partnerships that allow diverse organisations to imagine the future together. It is now in its third year.
