In her own words
Hello, I’m Tanja, and I’m a Futurist.
“Saying that most people believe that I have a crystal ball or can predict the future. However, that has little to do with what a Futurist actually does. As futurists, we help organizations explore diverse and alternative futures. In doing so, we not only broaden their horizons but, at the same time, consider what future these organizations want to shape actively.”
How does one become a Futurist?
“First and foremost, you have to be curious by nature. I’ve always been interested in exploring things I don’t understand. As a trained engineer, physics and electrical engineering gave me the structure to understand the world scientifically. However, there is much more to it than that. Because my second passion is dancing, I foster creativity through singing, dancing, and laughing.”
Tanja Schindler completed her double master’s degree MBA/Master of Strategic Foresight with distinction at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.
