description
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. Through the Foresight Education and Research Network (FERN), a professional network working to improve global foresight education, training, and careers, we have just written a careers guide for foresight professionals. The Foresight Guide is the first-ever guide focused on advancing the careers of foresight professional, those who are paid, at least in part, to help others look to and analyze the future. This includes all those who have degrees from one of the twenty-two MS and PhD programs in foresight around the world, those who have taken foresight classes in the university, those who have taken a foresight certificate program, and those who are self-taught, and are seeking greater success as a foresight professional. The presentation also focuses on FERN - how we connect individuals online and through social media to keep awareness of opportunities and educational resources in the community.

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.
