Introduction
David Zach is one of the few professionally trained futurists on this planet, and has a master’s degree in Studies of the Future from the University of Houston.
He’s worked at Northwestern Mutual Life and Johnson Controls, and taught Future Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.
Dave has worked with over 1200 clients, including really big companies such as Apple, Harley Davidson, Abbott Labs, 3M, and IBM.
During his career, Dave’s been on the program with such interesting people as Mike Ditka, Newt Gingrich, and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
This means that Dave is either on his way up or on his way down.
David Zach is going to take us on a down–to–earth guided tour of the future. He does not use tea leaves, astrology, or the Psychic Friends Hotline.
He’s never met Shirley MacLaine. He’s never even been Shirley MacLaine. Dave’s just an ordinary guy asking a very old question: Where do we go from here?
Please welcome David Zach, futurist.
