Event Details:

If developing a communications plan for your organization or client is on your to-do list for 2009, help is on the way.

Dr. Peter Bishop, futurist, and coordinator of the graduate program in Futures Studies at the University of Houston, will introduce attendees of this interactive workshop to strategic foresight concepts, procedures and tools that will help us anticipate change and influence the long-term effectiveness of our planning efforts.

Drawing content from a new five-day certification seminar he is teaching at UH in Strategic Foresight, Dr. Bishop will cover how communications planners can scan the environment and analyze current trends, anticipate disruptive futures and effectively set strategic direction.

Pam McConathy, principal with Foresight Communications Group, and a graduate student in Futures Studies at UH, will provide insight into how she uses strategic foresight methods in developing communications plans for her clients.

Attendees will be provided with materials before the workshop along with a questionnaire on the subject of strategic planning.

Following the workshop, Dr. Bishop's luncheon presentation will offer attendees insight into how we can equip ourselves and our organizations with the skills necessary to anticipate and deal productively with change.
