Devin Fidler

Devin's interests center on the application of foresight to organizational strategy and strategic planning. In particular, he is interested in organizations as systems designed to activate "know how" in the right places and at the right times. From this perspective, he argues that in a post-globalization world "all management is knowledge management."
Additional areas of focus include new business models, future supply chains, innovation economics and emerging disruptions of the higher education space.
Prior to joining IFTF, he was involved with a number of projects in the areas of technology assessment and the future of business, including work in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Research and Analysis Center and as an Analyst for the Royal Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh. He has lived and worked in several countries throughout his career and approaches projects from a strongly international perspective.
Devin undertook his MBA work with a focus in emerging markets at the Budapest University of Economics (Budapesti Közgazdaságtudományi Egyetem) and the Institut des Hautes Etudes Economiques et Commerciales in Paris, and participated in the inaugural class of Singularity University, a NASA and Google sponsored program focused on the evaluation of emerging technologies.
