Big 4: The Futurist
Join Glen Hiemstra, CEO and Founder of Futurist.com and author of Millennial City: How a New Generation Can Save the Future, as he takes us on a journey into the future of the built environment. We need cities, buildings, and infrastructure that are sustainable, and smart. The Internet of things will become the largest and most important engineering project in history as we build out what will literally become the global brain. Dumb will no longer cut it when it comes to what we build.

In this program, Glen will help us look outward from our daily concerns, as he scans the classic domains for strategic foresight: society and demographics, technology and science, environment and energy, economics and markets, and politics and regulation. We will consider strategic implications for our firms and our future and look at how we can build a preferred future.

We all like to say that the world is changing. What if we are right?
