CPPR’s Executive Director Jackie Counts was the featured speaker for Institute for the Future (IFTF)’s Foresight Talks webinar on August 8. In this conversation with Jack Dunagan of IFTF, Counts shares how implementing foresight has impacted CPPR’s approach to its work and partners, and why she wanted to create specific foresight initiatives and civic engagement opportunities that support and encourage CPPR staff members, local and state leaders, and community members to start thinking about the ways they can act on the future now.
