Description: Dr. Jay Gary is the director of PeakFutures since 1998, a research and training firm launched that helps mid-career professionals and organizations climb higher and see further. He is the developer of their Advanced Certificate in Strategic Foresight program, which offers both managers and consultants skill-based competencies in systems thinking, environmental scanning and scenario planning, leading to organizational transformation.
In addition, Dr. Gary has been a member of the faculty of the School of Business & Leadership at Regent University since 2004. He is an assistant professor who directs the “Strategic Foresight” program, which helps students from the MBA to the Doctoral level master the art of foresight in both business and community contexts. He serves as program director of the M.A. in Strategic Foresight, and also teaches in the Doctor of Strategic Leadership degree. He also directs the Christian Futures Network.
Before coming to Regent, Dr. Gary served more than two decades as a strategy consultant to non-profit, public and private enterprises. Throughout the '90s, he worked as a "millennial consultant" helping communities mark their passage into the 21st century. In 1994, he penned the first inspirational book on how to celebrate Christ’s 2,000th jubilee.
From 1982 to 1989, Dr. Gary served as the lead developer of the Perspectives Study Program, and then as a conference planner with the Lausanne movement, a network launched by Billy Graham. Before 1986, he served as a chaplain to college students, a global educator, and a magazine editor.
