Rene Rohrbeck is unusual in that he started as a technology forecaster for Deutsche Telecom where he was naively surprised to find that organisational strategists don't know a lot about the future and how to work with it. That insight started him onto his academic passion to both research and benchmark what is best in corporate foresight and to also develop his own organisational maturity model for foresight. He is a Professor and Associate Dean of Corporate Relations and has lived in Germany, Belgium,Spain, Australia and soon France.
