I've put together a 20 part, 5 week online course for business leaders and managers.
Lessons I have learned over the last 30 years, researching global trends.
I've worked with over 400 of the world's largest corporations, often sharing platforms with their CEOs at their most important global events.
You can have the greatest strategy ever known, but if the world changes in directions you do not expect, you will simply end up going even faster in the wrong direction.
Here are 20 secrets of all world-class Futurist - just about everything you need to become an expert forecaster, all packed into one 5 week programme.
How to read the signs of the times, and apply them to specific industries in a reliable way.
How to make sense of media overload, and make sensible forecasts for the next 5-10 years.
How to be a professional Futurist or trends analyst.
How to avoid common errors when making predictions.
Why most debates on the future are about timing, not the trends themselves.
You may be in marketing, management, banking, insurance, manufacturing, retail or health care - discover common principles for making sense of your future.
And the greatest test for you of all is this: do the course, start making some predictions to yourself about what you think is ahead, and benchmark yourself against what actually develops.
You will rapidly begin to see areas where you are starting to score high and areas you need to work on.
Take a look at my Future Secrets Course.
