Course Headline

Design your preferred future using futures thinking methods and build your 10-year personal strategic plan.

Introduction to Futures Thinking

"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what that plan is? Not much." - Jim Rohn. Navigating life without a clear vision or direction is like driving on a motorway without looking up to see what lies ahead. It's a recipe for a potential "crash" in our personal and professional lives, which can be avoided with foresight and planning.

The Urgency of Foresight

The pace of change today is relentless, driven by technology, climate change, globalisation, demographics, and geo-politics. In the past, communities were tight-knit, and life paths were more predictable. Not anymore. Today's world offers unprecedented opportunities for choice and innovation. With a click, you can access information, job opportunities, markets, and expertise worldwide—thanks to the internet, which has indeed connected us all. But with these endless possibilities come the challenges of planning and making sense of our future.
