"A Futurist does not have a magic wand or a crystal ball. I am not a Prophet or a Wizard but a data-based foresight expert. My insights are practical, focused on practical results — not hype." — Ian Khan
Ian Khan is a National Bestselling Author ranked on USA Today & Publishers Weekly Bestseller lists and ranked as a Top Global Futurist. He is the world's foremost authority on Future Readiness and a pioneer in identifying, measuring, and improving factors that impact organizational success.
Frustrated by the lack of methods available to measure how change negatively impacts profits, people, and purpose, Ian invented the Future Readiness Score™ — a metric backed by more than 250 industry surveys & research studies.
Ian's work has been featured on CNN, BBC, Fox, Bloomberg, Wharton Daily, Entrepreneur.com, Business.com, Arab News, ABC Australia and dozens of other global publications.
