There She Blows...

Thought all that “blue skies thinking” nonsense went out with the last fella?

Think again. The newly created Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (the unsexy end of the old Education and Skills brief) is advertising for a Head of something called the ‘Horizon Scanning Centre.’

Wow.

The blurb says Horizon Scanning (HS) is ‘the systematic examination of potential threats, opportunities and likely developments including but not restricted to those at the margins of current thinking and planning.’

They’re after someone with ‘substantial experience and competences in futures work [what?!?] and/or strategic analysis...’

Pays a nice 66k.

So Dr. Who and Doc Brown from Back to the Future fame in with a shout then.
