Become an International Certified Future Strategist (ICFS)

Take part in an international course taught by business professionals from four European countries, with more than 15 years of experience each in the fields of future studies and strategy. The “International Certified Future Strategist” (ICFS) program will help organizations successfully cope with an increasingly complex environment.

We are delighted to announce the dates for the 2024 ICFS course that will start on February 2024. As usual, the programme will focus on environmental analysis, scenario, vision, and strategy building. The ICFS is composed of four modules and taught by international business professionals with extended experience in the field.

The course is taught in English, and in an international environment with participants and teachers coming from different countries.

The programme fee for the ICFS course is €7,000 (all prices are excluding VAT). This is inclusive of lunches and course materials, but exclusive of travel and related costs.

“The course has particular strengths such as the specific examples, the ability to ask questions and receive detailed answers. Moreover, the practical work during the course gave me a more clear ability to understand all the tools.”
