No one can predict what will happen tomorrow, but the Futures Program at the University of Houston (UH) provides students with the tools to imagine possibilities. UH students are trained to anticipate significant changes and to develop the skills necessary to influence those changes.
A survey of corporate strategists conducted by the Corporate Strategy Board (CSB) in 2000 identified the following top five professional challenges:
- Challenging strategic assumptions
- Translating strategy into action
- Communicating strategy
- Identifying discontinuous change
- Adapting strategy to rapid change
Our trained futurists help organizations address these concerns by focusing on forecasting and planning for discontinuous and transformational change; by analyzing rapid alterations in external environments; and by applying futures thinking to increase the chances of achieving preferred futures.
