Learning the Future. Leading What’s Next.

Leah Sciabarrasi, Ph.D.

I’m a higher education leader and strategic foresight practitioner interested in how institutions, organizations, and communities make sense of change and prepare for what comes next. My university work spans academic leadership, program development, curriculum, innovation, and strategic planning. I also study and practice strategic foresight, with particular interests in signals of change, systems thinking, place-based futures, and the long-term forces shaping organizations and communities.
