Networking: the next puzzle piece

Phil Hauck, Board President

We have learned that our graduates, after completing their Strategic Foresight (SF) training, recognize value in comparing experiences with other SF grads and continuing to work together to implement the tools they’ve learned. So we’re launching our first two networking cohorts in the very near future, bringing together like-minded people who share similar situations and see foresight from similar perspectives. In each case we will seek “a good match” of people as we build the network. These are the features to which we’re committed:

  • Purposeful meetings aimed at shared experiences, getting questions answered, learning improved techniques, recognizing mutual challenges, and developing meaningful friendships
  • Well-timed gatherings, probably every 8-10 weeks
  • Scheduled at an optimal time of day for good attendance and focus
  • Commitment by network members to attend regularly and engage
  • Confidentiality
  • An agenda that is carefully planned and shared
  • Facilitation by an experienced professional

These networking cohorts will launch soon. There will be no participation fee as we fine-tune this structure over 2023. If you’re interested in joining such a network within these guidelines, contact Steve McCarthy, Executive Director.
