Pathways to Foresight: a 7-part DVD series by Richard Slaughter

If you thought that the world of the future was just defined by gagets or technology, take another look. Foresight International and Presence media are pleased to present "Pathways to Foresight."

Pathways is a 7-part DVD study series, perfect for individual study or small group. It is the first teaching series to focus on "integral" futures, sharing how you can use futures methodologies to probe beneath the surface, to access depth knowledge about society's beliefs, values and metaphors.

The series host is Dr. Richard Slaughter, director of the Australian Foresight Institute and foundational professor of foresight at Swinburne University. Slaughter is the also editor of the Knowledge Base of Future Studies, the leading graduate textbook in futures studies.

If you are looking for a series to introduce yourself or others to thinking in the forward tense, then this series is for you. It shares how to cultivate personal and organization foresight and use this forward view in socially useful ways. The 7 study segments are:

1. The Making of a Futurist
2. Critical Futures Studies
3. The Knowledge Base of Future Studies
4. Foresight and the Civilizational Challenge
5. Foresight Methologies and Implementation
6. How to Create Social Foresight
7. Integral Futures- A Deeper and Broader Approach
