Macro Futures Masterclass

Part of the CIFS Masterclass Series

Join us for a Macro Futures Masterclass led by Daria “Dasha” Krivonos, CEO of the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies. Dasha is a globally recognized and sought after foresight expert and keynote speaker, bringing extensive global experience at the intersection of foresight, macro futures, and strategic risk management.

This masterclass explores and connects the dots between global megatrends, shifting macro realities, and foresight as a strategic risk discipline.

Participants will be equipped to better understand and navigate a global reality marked by economic volatility, global power shifts, competing global agendas, and systemic shocks. Through a combination of presentations, practical frameworks, and collaborative hands-on activities, you will gain practical insights into the megatrends that profoundly shape both the present and the future – and learn how to apply foresight as a strategic tool for risk management.

Seats are limited to create space for deeper exchanges, tailored reflections, and direct engagement with Dasha throughout the session.

Who is this for?

This masterclass is for leaders, strategists, and risk professionals dealing with uncertainty at a global or systemic level, who must interpret macro developments and translate them into strategic decision making, or anyone who takes a professional interest in macro futures.
