The Uncertain Future of American Democracy

Presented by the CEOs of Growing Businesses (CGB)

Adapt and align your business in a time when many institutions, including our government—are anything but certain.

 

Doomsdayers say that American democracy is declining. Are they right? How do futurists (not pundits!) approach a question like this? In this dynamic two hour session, Futurist and Economist Rebecca Ryan will give a behind-the-scenes look at how professional futurists think about big questions like these. In addition you will:

•    Learn two critical techniques for assessing the future (yes, these techniques can also be applied to your growing business!)
•    Do a tabletop foresight activity to evaluate the health and future of American democracy
•    “Ask the futurist” your questions about the future
