RADAR: From Signals to Strategy
A Futures Experience for Educators
The future is coming. We live in unprecedented times with increasingly complex trends driving change, transformation, and even decline in our societies, schools, and our environment.
Yet we can design a better world. Being able to develop strategy for multiple, possible futures is an enormous advantage! And it engages us in a uniquely human superpower: imagination.
Leaders must learn to design the future they want for their organizations. Radar will equip and empower diverse teams of engaged educators and leaders to develop together a “futures literacy” needed to design our preferred futures.
How are you building this muscle as an educational leader and community influencer?
How might we build our capacity for agility, creativity, and agency through futures literacy?
June 5 & 6, 2025
THE Mount Vernon School | Atlanta, Georgia
Detailed schedule, including keynote speakers, coming soon.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Plan to attend Radar, Mount Vernon Ventures’ newest set of experiences, coachings and workshops to build and enhance your futures literacy, strategic positioning, and scenario planning. Over two days, gain new insights and strengths in leading with futures scenarios planning for your own school’s context and preferable futures. This methodology can also complement and enhance strategic planning that is in place and/or being developed!
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Design a prototype for your school’s strategic positioning in an area of your choice including emerging technology, financial sustainability, people management and leadership, and instructional programming. Work collectively to ensure that our unknown futures prove to be preferable ones – more just, equitable, regenerative, and even beautiful futures.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Optimize your experience by bringing your team of leaders, big questioners, dreamers, and change-makers. Come for the networking, as well. Mount Vernon attracts thought and action leaders from around the world.
REGISTRATION INFORMATION COMING SOON!
Upon registration, all participants will receive MV Venture’s Spring 2024 Transformation R&D Report, Imagine Then, Act Now: Futures Literacy for Learning Organizations.
This 40+ page report addresses questions including:
- How might we position our organizations strategically to anticipate, envision, discover and shape the future?
- How might we nurture diversity which reveals multiple perspectives and opportunities?
- How might we become learning organizations who can adapt to the changing world with agility, creativity, and agency?
Radar builds on the research from this R&D report and applies methods of futures literacy to design strategic positioning prototypes for participants’ unique school contexts.
