Executive Education

The Foresight Lab offers a range of futures thinking and change-readiness-focused programs in partnership with DeGroote Executive Education. Applying some of the same models and methods used by the likes of Accenture, Google, Microsoft and Toyota, these courses move beyond the shorter-term by adopting long-term and systems thinking lenses that help managers envision a range of future scenarios and leadership issues that may unfold in the years ahead.
