Be part of an exceptional journey to shape the future of Dubai
DEEP is designed for bold leaders, equipping them with foresight capabilities and futures thinking skills to navigate change, identify opportunities, address complex challenges, and design solutions that are relevant to tomorrow’s needs.
Level 1
Certified Foresight Practitioner
April – June 2026
Participants immerse themselves in a practice-led journey that develops foresight capabilities and futures thinking by applying the full foresight process to real-world contexts.
Level 2
Certified Foresight Ambassador
June – October 2026
Building on level 1, participants apply their foresight capabilities by developing a real foresight project for their entity, addressing a strategic challenge or opportunity. Through active engagement with their organization, participants translate learning into practice, share foresight insights, and support the integration of foresight into institutional decision-making.
At the end of each level, participants are evaluated to determine their eligibility to advance to the next level or graduate.
