Certificate in Strategic Foresight

Overview

The Strategic Foresight program is a 5-day, project-based, face-to-face workshop. Participants learn to anticipate disruptive change and work towards the creation of transformational change in order to influence the future of their organizations, companies and communities. Participants will receive 4 CEUs for attending, and can obtain the certificate if they complete a project within a given number of weeks after the program delivery.

The University of Houston's Strategic Foresight program gave me the models I needed to analyze the futures of my sector (market research) and the futures of other markets. Some of this thinking on the futures of market research has appeared in the Journal of Advertising Research (The Shape of Marketing Research in 2021), Quirk's Marketing Research Review (The rules of engagement: Lessons learned from creating an MROC for Millennials), and a chapter in an upcoming book on the subject (Leading Edge Marketing Research: 21st Century Tools and Practices).

Much thanks to Dr. Bishop for distilling years of study and practice into a week that is both insightful and actionable.

Certificate in Strategic Foresight Online

The Foresight program at the University of Houston offers two Certificates in Strategic Foresight:

  • The Professional Certificate is the original one-week program offered in Houston twice a year and occasionally in other locations, such as Brussels. Most take the program face-to-face, but the Certificate is also offered at the end of the first academic course in the graduate program, Introduction to Futures Studies.
  • The Graduate Certificate is a new program (currently being established) that requires four graduate courses from the academic curriculum.

All academic courses are offered both on campus and online simultaneously. More information can be found on the Foresight page, or download the admissions procedures PDF for the academic courses.
