Testimonials

  • "Working with White Knuckle Futures allowed our team and partners to think beyond the day-to-day, creating space to collaborate on what a shared future could look like. Being able to think about the future through the lens of stakeholders was particularly impactful as we were able to home in on the common threats and opportunities we can take action on now."

  • "We didn't start with a strategy and then mold it. We started with a consideration of a possible future and then considered what we would do to meet that future. This was far more meaningful than the exercises we have done on strategic planning in the past."

  • “Instead of thinking just strategically this year, three to five years, I am able to think in terms of decades and how collectively we might influence trends for a future that is more equitable, fulfilling, and sustainable.”

  • "Our partners were able to develop short- and long-term strategies and left empowered by seeing ways in which they have agency in shaping the future they desire."

  • "There is nobody who has Becky Cooperman’s smart, unique, combined skill sets of masterful facilitation, deep knowledge base, connected thinking, and mental agility. I have had the pleasure of working with her on a Futures retreat with a Board of Trustees and have also seen her bring this same, engaging work to students. Becky is a master at this work, no matter the audience. She makes this hard topic approachable and the work outcomes meaningful due to her facilitation skills and ability to connect different groups to relevant content and to prod and expand their thinking forward.""

  • "The Strategic Foresight workshop led by Becky Cooperman successfully engaged school leaders, and former trustees, in creative thinking about socio-economic trends that will reshape the educational landscape. This process strengthened our collective understanding of how core elements in the Montessori program can help the school - and its students - adapt and thrive in future years. Much depends on making strategic improvements that build capacity and resilience to address those challenges. Becky's workshop helped re-affirm and guide emerging plans to make that happen.
