Professional foresight is on the rise. More people are being paid to create, predict, and manage the future in more exciting ways around the world today than ever before.

What is FERN? FERN is a network for people interested in foresight and long term strategy planning. We work together on a volunteer basis (we all have day jobs!) and promote an understanding of foresight with active projects and by connecting online & offline to foresight opportunities worldwide.

FERN is an on-ramp to futures and foresight. We connect our network to the foresight world and foresight experts. We open foresight up to people who may not know about the study and practice of foresight and bridge them to new orgs. and resources.

How Do We Do This? We volunteer online via our FERN and Global Foresight LinkedIn Groups, our website (www.fernweb.org) and wiki (www.globalforesight.org). Utilizing Google Docs, Skype, and our volunteers proactiveness, we sponsor volunteer projects with our network and work with volunteers on our own projects. What you put into FERN is what you get out of it. The time commit is your own to decide. What you get out of it is a lot of FUN, foresight tools and knowledge, and a new group of friends and future colleagues.
