At Henderson Strategies we use strategic foresight to help organizations think long-term, act intentionally, and thrive in a changing world. Strategic foresight is not about predicting the future—it’s about understanding change, exploring multiple possibilities, and building the capacity to respond with clarity and creativity. We specialize in working with community colleges, rural regions, and mission-driven leaders to move beyond reactive planning and design future-ready strategies rooted in insight and imagination.
Our services include customized scenario development to explore potential futures, foresight workshops that build long-term thinking skills, and strategic planning facilitation that integrates future trends with present-day action. We also offer environmental scanning and trend analysis, visioning sessions, and backcasting tools to help organizations align their goals with emerging opportunities. Whether you're designing a 10-year plan, navigating disruption, or creating space for bold conversations, we provide the structure and guidance to help you move forward with purpose.

Now, as a consultant, she helps community colleges and rural communities navigate uncertainty, explore emerging trends, and build future-ready strategies. Strategic foresight is the practice of examining change, imagining alternative futures, and developing the capacity to respond intentionally—not reactively—to what’s ahead. Andrea partners with leaders to create vision-driven plans, facilitate transformative conversations, and align today’s decisions with tomorrow’s possibilities.
