SCUP Fellow Presentation

Professional futurists employ a systematic methodology called strategic foresight, which draws on diverse data sources, trending models, and scenario development to better understand what may lay ahead. This session will identify the underlying assumptions of strategic foresight and research-informed trends that are likely to impact the work of higher education planners over the next twenty years. Drawing from SCUP Fellowship research and insights, we'll use real-time polling software to chart responses to four scenarios of plausible futures and identify steps to take now to build greater capacity and resilience.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Detail different foresight methods and how they equip planners to navigate short and long-term professional change.
2. Identify trends in higher education and broader society that are likely to have a significant impact on the work of planners and campus leaders.
3. Consider competing scenarios of four plausible alternative futures and rate your personal and institutional readiness to thrive in each scenario.
4. Brainstorm new skills and ways of working that you could adopt today to navigate the potential uncertainties that lay ahead.
