Andy Hines, M.S. in Futures
Andy Hines teaches futures studies at the University of Houston, alongside a "day job" of managing custom research and consulting projects at Social Technologies, a leading consulting futures firm that specializes in the integration of foresight, strategy of innovation. Prior to joining the University of Houston and Social Technologies, he enjoyed earlier careers as a consulting and then organizational futurist. He became a partner with Coates & Jarratt, Inc., a think tank and consulting firm that specialized in the study of the future. He was also Futurist & Senior Ideation Leader at Dow Chemical with a mission of using futures tools and knowledge to turn ideas into new business opportunities. Before that, he established and ran the Global Trends Program for the Kellogg Company.
Each career has been characterized by a professional hunger to make foresight practical and use. Andy believes that foresight can help deliver the insight so much in need in today's organizations and the world, and hopes he can infect as many change agents as possible with this message. Thus, he has honed a skill set designed to make foresight more actionable in organizations.
In this pursuit, he co-founded and is currently Vice-Chair of the Association of Professional Futurists, co-authored three books --Thinking About the Future: Guidelines for Strategic Foresight, 2025: Science and Technology Reshapes US and Global Society (Oak Hill, 1997) and Managing Your Future as an Association (ASAE, 1994). He has authored dozens of articles, speeches, and workshops, including the 2003 Emerald Literati Awards' Outstanding Paper accolade for best article published in Foresight for "An Audit for Organizational Futurists."
Andy earned his B.A. in History and Political Science from Salem State College in 1987 and his M.S. in Studies of the Future from UH-Clear Lake in 1990.
