Luke is the Programme Director of the Professional Studies Program at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia.
He is passionate about futures studies, foresight as an innate human capability, the criticality of foresight in leadership and the development of social foresight.
Luke’s primary research interests are in the areas of futures research, human futures, systems theory, foresight and the strategic thinking of organisational leaders.
He thinks that the global rise in mental health issues shows that we cannot quickly adapt and respond to changes around us and it is breaking down our social fabric. As a field we have to get better at how we influence decision-making.
