About Reinvent Futures
Reinvent Futures is a company that helps others better understand the future by providing strategic foresight advice to senior leaders who must navigate the arrival of transformative technologies like Artificial Intelligence and the many fundamental system changes of the 2020s.
We do this partly by convening top innovators from a wide variety of fields impacting the future in physical gatherings to explore the key questions of our times, including the four questions above: what’s really going on now, what’s probably coming in the next 10 years, what’s possible to achieve in the next 25 years, and what you could do.
We take what we learn and help the leaders of companies and other organizations get a much better understanding of the answers to those four questions too. We do that through tailored talks, strategic workshops, foresight coaching and special projects.
About Peter Leyden
Our founder Peter Leyden has spent his entire career in pursuit of the constantly evolving answers to those four questions above: what’s really going on, what’s probably coming, what’s possible to achieve, and what we should do now.
Leyden moved to San Francisco at the beginning of the digital revolution to work with the founders of WIRED and figure out what’s probably coming. He then learned the futures business with some of the key pioneers in strategic foresight.
Over the last 25 years he has since built up an extraordinary network of technologists, entrepreneurs, innovators and creatives throughout Silicon Valley and the region.
Through all this Leyden has become a thought leader on the future and an expert on new technologies — regularly giving keynote talks and writing influential books and articles.
He founded Reinvent Futures as the best way to help others become more prescient and effective as we head into what will be a transformative decade and what could be the beginning of a new era of great progress.
Convening Remarkable Innovators
How does Reinvent Futures come up with answers to those four key questions: what’s really going on, what’s probably coming, what’s possible to achieve, and what we should do?
We have one line of business that convenes remarkable innovators into various gatherings to help figure out the future and deepen our collective understanding of what to do right now.
We convene what we call the A team: top innovators and creatives, technologists and entrepreneurs, intellectuals and academics, scientists and strategists.
Some are world-class thought leaders, others up-and-coming next-generation founders and innovators, most are experts of some kind, but all have some valuable contribution to make from a wide range of fields impacting the future.
Advising in Strategic Foresight
Reinvent Futures has a second line of business where we take what we know and are constantly learning about those four questions and help senior leaders of companies and other organizations understand them as well.
We do advisory work in strategic foresight, the business term for helping leaders better understand the near-term future and evolve their strategies.
Most leaders, let alone most people, have no idea about how to think more rigorously or systematically about the future.
Reinvent Futures helps them do that in various ways: through tailored talks, strategy workshops, roundtable discussions, learning journeys, foresight coaching, and special projects.
The main website that keeps most up-to-date about Peter Leyden can be found at PeterLeyden.com.
There you will find everything about his keynote speaking and writing, as well as interviews with media, podcast conversations, and much historical background on him, his career, and his work.
This Reinvent Futures website deals solely with his current strategic foresight and advisory work. But the other website even has some material on his advisory work that can't be found here.
If you can’t find what you need here, then check out the other website, as well as his Substack series, and other social media too.
