Foresight NEXT

Exceptional Professional Development
for Corporate Sustainable Impact

Created in collaboration with the foremost corporate sustainability executives, Foresight NEXT empowers corporate influencers with the knowledge and skills necessary to better engage complex impending challenges. NEXT provides a practical, forward-oriented platform that dynamically integrates experiential and academic learning modes to deliver relevant insights into the diverse sustainability practices and strategies of leading companies.

Limited to a small, select cohort of peers, the program is highly interactive and includes six daylong site visits to trailblazing corporations, government agencies, and small businesses. These are complemented by seven evening seminars focused on a range of relevant topics covered through readings, lectures, and discussions.

Foresight NEXT is designed for corporate professionals motivated to deepen their knowledge of pressing social, environmental and economic issues in order to better forge sound business solutions, broaden their networks, and propel their careers. Participants at varying stages of their careers will leave the experience imbued with the comprehension and perspective necessary to more effectively integrate and address these topics in their particular sector.
