Future Indiana

Vision

The vision for Future Indiana is twofold:

Create an integral 'big picture' view of the prosepects for Indiana's Future and will work with the collective group of futurists, long-range planners, and future researchers to publish an annual Indiana State of the Future Index.
Build master capacities (futuring capacities) across futurists, long-range planners, future researchers, as well as community and enterprise leaders in the state of Indiana.
