The Institute for the Future

IFTF was founded in 1968 as an independent, public-interest nonprofit and a spinoff from RAND Corporation with original support from the Ford Foundation - it's currently the world's oldest continuously running futures research and educational organization.

Our founding articles of incorporation state that “it is imperative that society acquire the necessary tools, methods and research capabilities to identify and cope with socio-economic questions before they become tomorrow’s critical problems.”

This was a revolutionary call-to-action at a tumultuous time in history—a call for a more rigorous systems approach to the future that would help people find agency in their own expertise to be better prepared in uncertain times.

IFTF's Distinguished Fellow Bob Johansen has written numerous top-selling business books including Office Shock and Full-Spectrum Thinking. Bob recently moved to Bainbridge and is assisted various local groups envision the future of our Island.
