Houston Futures alum Adam Gordon has just been appointed the Director of Executive Education and Professional Development at the Wits Business School in Johannesburg. He observes that this is a natural segway from his work in developing and running graduate and executive education courses in strategic foresight and scenario planning around the world. Now, he will be more directly involved in building the future. He will have direct management decision-making power over programming (short-courses, open enrollment), and will be committed to running courses with a futures dimension (and is open to ideas in this area).

 As if that’s not enough, he’s about to hand in his PhD in Scenario Planning at the University of Cape Town, Graduate School of Business. We’ll keep our eyes open for that and let the community know when it’s available. Congratulations, Adam! –Andy Hi
