Applied Foresight Accelerator

3-Day Live Online Program | August 2-4 8:30 am-12 pm and 1:30-5 pm daily

CSL DLD's Transformation for Libraries: The Futures School<https://libguides.ctstatelibrary.org/dld/FUTURESSCHOOL/home> IMLS National Grant Project has come full circle and is returning to Connecticut for an August Applied Foresight Accelerator Program. This is a wonderful opportunity to participate in a program that Sarah Fuller, IMLS referred to as "a game changer for librarians," and from our Cohorts:

"It's great to have a model that is normally applied to business be specifically applied to libraries. Our profession really needs a shakeup!"
- Florida Cohort

"The Futures School provided a powerful, engaging way to deconstruct our biases and environmental variables to predict various future scenarios that affect our long-term vision and mission."
- Doug Casey, Executive Director, Connecticut Commission for Educational Technology

"This class was great! The presenters, support staff and materials created an atmosphere where I was learning and trying things I've never done before, but it all made sense. The group projects were the best part. And I hate group work! I left feeling energized and prepared to use these skills immediately to create better outcomes."
- Aramis J. Troche, Head Children & Teen Librarian, Palm Beach County Library System - Acreage Branch

Built on a vision of developing learning experiences that help you to be "fueled by foresight" in all that you do - this unique training program is presented in partnership with Kedge and The Futures School. It emerged from a growing realization among leaders and organizations that success in the 21st century landscape of rapid change means we must embrace new pathways to the future. In other words, we need to foster mindsets and skills that help us to seize untapped possibilities and opportunities.

You have the opportunity to participate in this pilot project. With tangible results and a repeatable framework, you'll be on your way to developing a foresight mindset and skillset, ensuring you are primed for market-leading innovation, successful opportunity development, and futures intelligence. Ultimately, you will learn a strategic framework that enables you to continuously learn-unlearn-relearn to lead discussions and actions in the transformation of libraries.

  *   Libraries participating in shared automation systems
  *   Special libraries
  *   Academic libraries
  *   Institution libraries
  *   Libraries serving persons with disabilities
