What Our Alumni Say

The University of Houston’s Foresight program gave me the models I needed to analyze the futures of my sector (market research) and the futures of other markets. Some of this thinking on the futures of market research has appeared in the Journal of Advertising Research (The Shape of Marketing Research in 2021), Quirk’s Marketing Research Review (The rules of engagement: Lessons learned from creating an MROC for Millennials), and a chapter in an upcoming book on the subject (Leading Edge Marketing Research: 21st Century Tools and Practices).

- Robert Moran, President US, Brunswick

Just wanted to say thanks for a terrific seminar last week. I enjoyed the material and presentation immensely and thought the group was a dynamic mix. It was a pleasure working with you and Peter. I figure there is a high plausibility of more foresight work in my future. Thanks for your time, insights and expertise.

- Dan Downey, Freelance Strategist

I’m planning to hang this certificate in my office – my master’s diploma is somewhere in my filing cabinet! Really enjoyed this program and having an opportunity to meet a very good faculty.
