Case studies are also used to illustrate the methods. \n\n\n\nOver the two days\, participants will learn about themselves\, others\, their organisation\, and the changing world. They leave with not just insights as to the futures of their topic of concern\, but also their own life narratives\, and what they need to do In order to realise their personal visions. \n\n\n\n\nThere will also be an option to continue working on the key topic of your concern to develop it further beyond the 2-days\, followed up with a half-day consultation session with Prof Sohail on 27 November 2026. \n\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn\n\n\n\n\nThe Six Pillars approach of working with the future – Mapping\, Anticipating\, Timing\, Deepening\, Creating and Transforming.\n\n\n\nEnhance the effectiveness of long-range planning for executives and managers through the use of appropriate futures methodological tools\n\n\n\nHow methods like emerging issues analysis\, the futures wheel and Causal Layered Analysis fit into the Six Pillars Approach\n\n\n\nHow the experiential Sarkar game can reveal the organisational dynamics of your system\n\n\n\nUnderstanding and familiarity with methods used to develop alternative futures\n\n\n\nCapacity to use the future as a tool for strategy and transformation within the organization\n\n\n\nGreater understanding of self\, leadership\, and futures\n\n\n\n\nThis is for you if you…\n\n\n\n\nWould like to get an introduction to Futures Thinking\n\n\n\nAre already familiar with Futures and Foresight and would like to deep dive to enrich your own toolbox with a structured and proven approach.\n\n\n\nAre looking to develop new strategies and policies in organisations\, institutions and communities.\n\n\n\nWant experienced practitioners to help guide your exploration of your own specific organisational concerns or topics.\n\n\n\nAre curious to learn from two leading figures in the domain of Futures.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Trainers\n\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Sohail Inayatullah\n\n\n\nA political scientist and futurist\, Sohail is the UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies at the Sejahtera Centre for Sustainability and Humanity\, IIUM\, Malaysia.

I learnt about futures and scenario planning from his lucid presentation then. Within the next month\, Sohail was in Penang to lead a team of 30 academics from Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) to plan ahead for the 2025. By 2008\, USM won the prestigious bid to be Malaysia’s only APEX status university based on the outcome of the scenario plan\, in particular as ‘The Sustainability-led University.’ The rest is history.\n\nI find Sohail’s approach to the futures very instructive and practical for those who are looking for a model of transformation in an uncertain future. It is also fun-filled as much as it is thought-provoking!”Former RectorInternational Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)\, \n& Immediate-past President\, International Association 
of Universities (IAU)\, Paris \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“What I love about futures and the way Sohail teaches it is that it opens participants minds that visions have to be more than possible futures: they have to be preferred futures. To unleash them\, people have to think outside the box and use not just knowledge and evidence but also emotions and creativity. \n\nThe importance of Sohail’s course is evident now: the global community experiences first-hand why futures thinking with all its tools like emerging issues analysis\, scenario planning with radical change scenarios\, and backcasting are important. Had we used them across countries\, agencies\, and stakeholders\, we would be in a much better position as a global community to respond to and manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.”Dr. Susann Roth(MD\, MPH\, PHD) Principal Knowledge Sharing \nand Services Specialist\, Asian Development Bank \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I have had the pleasure of working with Professor Inayatullah across a number of global think tanks and law enforcement initiatives over the last 13 years. He is always excellent in what he does\, and brings fresh ideas and expert analysis of the highest level to the table. Professor Inayatullah helps to generate insights that transform the way you think and how you process the world around\, opening key skills for futures thinking. Our current work together has seen Professor Inayatullah support INTERPOL and key high profile partners in the exploration of scenarios for the post COVID-19 environment and the role of law enforcement as well as police cooperation.”Anita HazenbergFormer Director\, \nInnovation Centre Directorate\, Interpol \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Ivana Milojević is one of the most brilliant and original futures researchers of her generation. Her work on gender and education is groundbreaking and provides essential insights into the socio-cultural dimensions of our global futures.”Dr. Jennifer GidleyFormer President\,World Futures Studies Federation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStudents and teaching staff frequently describe Ivana as “insightful\,” “deeply empathetic\,” and “capable of deconstructing the most rigid power structures through gentle but firm inquiry.”The University of the Sunshine Coast \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOften cites Ivana as a premier facilitator who can bridge the gap between “hard” strategic planning and “soft” cultural transformation. She is credited with making foresight accessible to NGOs and grassroots organisations.The UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Dr. Inayatullah has become the World Class futurist\, giving thousands 
of lectures\, workshops and consultations literally all over the world\, and writing scores of highly-regarded articles and books about all aspects of futures studies.
His position as the first UNESCO Chair in Futures Studies is merely one indication of the esteem in which he is held in the global futures community and by the thousands of people whose lives he has influenced through his teaching\, writing\, and example.”Jim DatorProfessor Emeritus\, Hawaii Research Center\nfor Future Studies\, University of Hawaii at Manoa \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I feel fortunate to have found this course. I was looking for a training on futures because I was interested in how trends and human behaviour shape the future. However\, as I worked through the course\, I began to understand there are many other variables.The most valuable takeaway for me was to realise the future is not predetermined – the future is an asset with many possibilities. This opened my mind. I like that the course offers many exercises which helped me put concepts into practice\, and I appreciate
Professor Sohail and Adam who were always there to give me their feedback. I highly recommend this course.”Satori ValezPsychologist\, Art therapist \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate & Time10-11 June 2026(Wed-Thu)9.30AM to 5.30PM \n\n\n\n\n\nLocationCommon Ground21 Bedok North Street 1Singapore 469659+ Google Map \n\n\n\nFormatFull-day\, In-person Masterclass \n\n\n\nTicket Types(A) 2-day workshopEarly Bird: S$2\,100 S$1\,600Regular Price: S$2\,500 S$2\,000 \n\n\n\n(B) 2-day workshop + half-day consultationEarly Bird: S$2\,700 S$2\,200Regular Price: S$3\,100 S$2\,600  \n\n\n\nPlease contact Zilin at billing@studiodojo.com if you need an e-invoice submission via Vendors@Gov\, or to claim from your organisation.
