Amy Webb may not be a superhero \u2013 but she does have a powerful ability to anticipate trends and emerging technology that will disrupt tomorrow. And she can envision and help prepare for the impact they\u2019ll have on business and society. Now she\u2019s teaching others, including corporate leaders, innovators and governments, to do the same.<\/p>\n
Founder of the Future Today Strategy Group, Webb is a renowned futurist and strategist. For her, it\u2019s not simply an interest; it\u2019s a profession and a passion. Nor is \u201cforecasting the future\u201d about creating fantastical scenarios. Webb doesn\u2019t simply make speculations or predictions; her work is evidence based, drawn from mapping and modeling quantitative and qualitative data collected in the present to understand what\u2019s coming (5-20 years from now).<\/p>\n
Named to the 2017 Thinkers50 Radar list of management thinkers most likely to shape the future \u2013 and winner of its 2017 Distinguished Achievement Award \u2013 Webb is already making an impact on today\u2019s Fortune 500 and Global 1000 companies, government agencies, large nonprofits, universities and startups worldwide. Focusing on the intersection of technology, business and society, she takes a purposefully broad lens to her work. When thinking about the future, most only look at their industry and direct competitors. Webb is adamant about looking at multiple, adjacent landscapes. \u201cYou have to be able to see the top of the forest in order to see where all the trees are and how they connect,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
