About Riel Miller

Starting in March of 2022, after a decade as Head of Foresight and Futures Literacy at UNESCO in Paris, Riel joined several communities (see list below) seeking to transform why and how people use-the-future. From the outset of his career, in 1982 at the OECD, Riel has accumulated hundreds of hands-on experiences, all around the world, designing and implementing efforts to think about the future. He is an experienced and innovative educator, a pioneer of the field of futures literacy and the ‘discipline of anticipation’. He is widely published in academic journals and other media on a range of topics, from the future of education and the Internet to the transformation of leadership and productivity. He is an accomplished keynote speaker and facilitator. His unflagging ambition is to find ways to put the richness of complex emergence at the service of humanity's capacity to be free.
