Fabienne Goux-Baudiment

Fabienne Goux-Baudiment, Ph.D. is director at proGective. She is also Adjunct Professor of Foresight, Entrepreneurship & Intangible Capital at ISTIA (University of Angers, France) and Fellow at the World Futures Studies Federation. She is on the Editorial Boards of Futures, Foresight, and JFS.

proGective was born in August 1994 from the will to create an intellectually and financially independent organization, entirely devoted to prospective and foresight. It is now, at the same time, a research center, a tool for technological and social watch and an organization devoted to the implementation of foresight and prospective in a concrete and operational way.

proGective is a private company based on the French legislation (SARL), which guarantees its financial independence and its ability to answer the market demand; yet it acts as a nonprofit organization.

Fabienne is former President of the WFSF (2005–2009). She also served as the Vice-President of the Center for Transcultural Foresight, Inc., Washington DC, whose publication FUTUREtakes is an independent educational resource (2010–2012). She is a member of both the Association of Professional Futurists and the World Future Society.

Fabienne earned her Master’s in Public Policy and International Affairs at Institut d’Etudes politiques de Strasbourg, France in 1983 and her Ph.D. in Foresight in Social Sciences at the Gregorian University of Rome in 2001.
