Remarks from the Director

As Director of the Foresight Lab at the DeGroote School of Business, I’m excited to welcome you to a space for bold thinking, diverse dialogue, and future-shaping action. Foresight is about more than spotting trends—it’s the capacity to see beyond the obvious, embrace emergence, and act on opportunities without compromising our values or purpose.

The Lab is a hub where multiple perspectives meet to explore challenges and co-create futures we collectively desire. There is no single future—only many possible ones, shaped by our varied backgrounds, interests, and motivations. That’s why we champion leadership that balances authenticity and cultural heritage with openness to innovation and change.

Through interdisciplinary research, executive learning, and collaboration, we build a sense of shared accountability for shaping what’s next. The future doesn’t just happen—we build it. Let’s start now.

Dr. Candice Chow, Director of Foresight Lab
