Professional career

[edit]

Hines joined Joseph Coates of Coates & Jarratt, Inc as a consulting futurist in 1990.[2] He then spent a decade crafting the role of an organizational futurist with The Kellogg Company as Senior Manager of Global Trends and thereafter at The Dow Chemical Company as Senior Ideation Leader.[3] He returned to foresight consulting as a managing director at Social Technologies (Innovaro) and simultaneously joined the faculty of the University of Houston as a Lecturer for the then Future Studies Graduate Program in 2005. In 2010 he established his own foresight consulting firm, Hinesight, which continues to operate. After the retirement of Peter Bishop in 2013, he was appointed as the current Program Coordinator and now Associate Professor for the Graduate Program in Foresight at the University of Houston, teaching various courses in futures studies and serving as advisor to Foresight students. He is also founding chair, Executive Director, and long-time Board member of the Association of Professional Futurists.[4] He is a member of the World Futures Studies Federation Accreditation Council for Foresight programs that was launched in 2021.

Hines’ published contributions including a regular column called “Hinesight” in the journal Foresight, originate from his specialty in integrating foresight into organizations.[5] He also explored the role of shifting personal values in understanding the consumer landscape, which consequently was the topic of his book Consumershift: How Changing Values Are Reshaping the Consumer Landscape published in 2011.[6] Hines has delivered more than 350 keynotes, presentations, and workshops on futures-related topics for clients in business, government, and non-profits. He designs and facilitates workshops using a variety of foresight methods, including the “framework foresight” method with he developed together with Peter Bishop,[7] for the purposes of innovation, strategy development, new business and product development. The “Framework Foresight” method is captured in the 2nd edition of Thinking about the Future.[8] Among his many clients are The Hershey Company, Library of Congress, Nissan, California Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), CableLabs, the Lumina Foundation, Clorox, and the MD Anderson Cancer Center. • Associate Professor & Program Coordinator, Graduate Program in Foresight, University of Houston, 2013–Present • Principal, Hinesight, 2010–Present • Fellow, GAO Center for Strategic Foresight, Washington DC, 2018-present • Fulbright Fellowship, “Internationalization of Higher Education,” Bureau at Higher Education Commission (OHEC), Thailand Ministry of Education, Bangkok, May 24-June 22, 2019. • Most Significant Futures Work, Methods and Practice, Association of Professional Futurists, 2017 [Let’s Talk about Success: A Proposed Foresight Outcomes Framework for Organizational Futurists] • Director and Managing Director, Innovaro Social Technologies, 2006-2010 • Co-Founder, Chair and Board Member, Association of Professional Futurists, 2001-2010 • Lecturer & Adjunct Faculty, Graduate Program in Futures Studies, University of Houston, 2005–Present • Futurist & Ideation Leader, The Dow Chemical Company, 2000-2005 • North American Trends Program Manager and Global Trends Sr. Manager, The Kellogg Company, 1997-1998, 1998-1999 • Contributing Editor, The Futurist, 1996-1997 • Future Research Analyst and Partner, Coates & Jarratt, Inc., 1990-1996
