2012 Alum Pam McConathy Schied had an article “Practicing Strategic Foresight in an Era of Hyper Change” published in the Summer 2014 Issue of QRCA Views. Where better to turn for insight on this topic than our own Dr Bishop?
Pam and Dr. Bishop provide the QRCA (Qualitative Research Consultants Association) with some evidence for the need for foresight and some tips on how to introduce it in their practice.
In the piece, Bishop observed that: “the future is more than anticipating what the world will do,” says Bishop. “We are players in our own stories; we shape our own future to some extent… the forces thundering toward us are not definitive. We have power, too. If the last few decades have taught us anything, it is that we cannot simply wait for the future to happen before we respond to it.”
Great to see this tag team spreading the word about the future — keep up the good work. Andy Hines
