About Suzanne

Hello! I’m Suzanne.
Futurer by chance. Hopeful by choice.

I’m a facilitator, science communicator, researcher, and practitioner working where science, society, storytelling, and sustainability connect. I help build the capacities we need to navigate uncertainty and shape change, from communicating evidence to imagining futures to reconnecting with place and possibility.

I am driven by the conviction that it’s possible for us to co-create hopeful, sustainable futures.

I’ve been doing this over 20 years, with people across the globe, in multiple languages, whilst living in three continents and six countries. It’s diverse, unexpected, and absurdly joyful work.

Here’s my story

Earlier this year, Futurism reported that OpenAI has launched a health-focused version of ChatGPT that can ingest full medical records. This raises some interesting questions for futures facilitators.

Facilitating futures, not just presenting them

As a futures facilitator, my attention is often less on the artefact or the method (the scenario, the trend map, the framework) and more on what’s happening in the room.
