        Testimonials

          “I’ve worked with Wendy on client projects where we had to deliver complex material in sometimes difficult circumstances, and on knowledge projects where we were trying to extend thinking in the futures and scenarios field. She’s a great resource – a ‘walking google’ of techniques and methods – a good facilitator, a constant source of project ideas and innovation, and someone who always wants the whole team to look good and to do well.” April 27, 2009

          Andrew Curry, Director, The Futures Company

          “Consider Wendy your personal oracle (without the trip to Delphi). If you have need, and appreciate the value of knowing long-term trends before others see them, crave understanding the forces that shape our global society, and prefer to be on top of the waves of change, rather than being swept under by them, then talk to Dr. Wendy Schultz…often.” March 31, 2008

          Wayne Brockman, President and CEO, Thoughtworx R&D Corporation

          “Dr. Schultz was an invaluable member of our foresight team for a recent Fortune 50 scenario project. Her deep and extensive knowledge of the futures field, her experience as a talented facilitator, and her ability to continuously and consistently do what was in the best interests of the team all made our work both highly productive as well as highly enjoyable!” November 21, 2011
