  Andy Hines

  Futurist, Program Coordinator, University of Houston

  Andy Hines is the current Program Coordinator at the University of Houston’s Graduate Program in Foresight. Since 2005, he has been a Lecturer for the Foresight program, bringing together the experience he earned as an organizational, consulting, and academic futurist. He also speaks, workshops, and consults through his firm Hinesight, which he established in 2010.

  Hines enjoyed earlier careers as a consulting and organizational futurist. From 1990 to 1996 he was a partner with Coates & Jarratt, Inc., a think tank and consulting firm that specialized in the study of the future. After that from 1997 to 1999, he ran the North American Trends Program and then established and ran the Global Trends Program for the Kellogg Company. From 2000 to 2005 he was the Futurist & Senior Ideation Leader at Dow Chemical with a mission of using futures tools and knowledge to turn ideas into new business opportunities. Hines then became the Director and Managing Director of Social Technologies (now Innovaro) between 2006 and 2010.

  Hines is motivated by a professional hunger to make foresight practical and useful, and he believes that foresight can help deliver the insight that is so needed in today’s organizations and the world. His goal, he says, is to infect as many change agents as possible with this message. Integrating foresight into organizations and exploring the role of shifting personal values in understanding the consumer landscape are among Dr. Hines’ specialties. Hines delivers keynote addresses for his clients in business, government, and not-for-profit organizations on a wide range of futures-related topics. Using a variety of foresight methods such as scenario planning, he also designs and facilitates workshops for the purposes of strategy development, new business and product development, and understanding changing customer preferences. In his twenty-plus years as a futurist, Hines has served hundreds of clients including the MD Anderson Cancer Center, Nissan, the Lumina Foundation, Clorox, California Officer Standards and Training (POST), Library of Congress, CableLabs, and The Hershey Company.
