Ross Shott, managing director of the graduate studies program at Singularity University is an alumni of the Houston Foresight program. Singularity University, a small unaccredited institute in northern California, is a Futures education initiative co-founded by futurist Ray Kurzweil. Its mission is to help solve some of the planet’s greatest humanitarian problems, such as famine and climate change. The Telegraph recently published an article about the exciting work happening at the institute with an accompanying video that leads off with words from Ross himself.
In addition to running the graduate studies program at Singularity University, Ross also teaches a course in the Foresight department at UH titled Advanced Strategies for Futures Planning. Ross has an excellent business background as outlined with his work with Psyphers Group where he does strategic consulting, executive coaching, and leading-edge research into human potential. Ross is concurrently completing a doctorate in the psychology of human performance at University of the Rockies. Ross knows how to innovate, plan, and implement change and we are delighted that he will be sharing strategies for doing so with students in the Houston Foresight program this spring.
