Sanjay Khanna, Resident Futurist at Massey College, is a keynote speaker at an inspiring federal government event that aims to support federal public servants to think ahead 10 to 15 years “in a rapidly changing context.” Event description below.
Fifteen Years Out… Foresight, the Future and the Policy Agenda
The public service must start today to prepare for the challenges Canadians and governments will be facing in 10 to 15 years from now. However, it is difficult to define an action plan to promote Canada’s resilience and competitiveness when working within a rapidly changing context. That is why foresight methods are attracting growing interest regarding support to decision making and planning within an organization. Join representatives from the Policy Horizons Canada, the Privy Council Office, the University of Toronto and the Conference Board of Canada to examine the various issues that could affect Canada in the years to come.
