The Futures Institute: Shaping Tomorrow Now at Duke University

Lead Instructor and course developer at Duke University's Talent Identification Program course entitled "The Futures Institute: Shaping Tomorrow Now." The course is now a regular part of the TIP Institutes program each summer, covering Strategic Foresight and Futures Thinking theory, methodology, practice, and real-world innovation for solution development.

"Frank developed the curriculum for The Futures Institute: Shaping Tomorrow Now at the Duke University Talent Identification Program, and served as the lead instructor of the course in 2010 and 2011. The course was very popular among students as it utilized a powerful hands-on, interactive and project-based approach to thinking about the future of technology, business, government and society in an intentional and constructive way. Participants leveraged emerging trends and scenarios to “create the future,” building unique products, services, organizational models and social innovations to solve big world problems and seize unseen opportunities. As the Assistant Director of Field Studies and Institutes at Duke University TIP at the time, I can attest to the fact that Frank created an amazing course for our students, and I highly recommend him as an instructor and course developer around futures studies, innovation and strategic prototyping."
