Education

Daniel Burrus attended the Wisconsin State University-Oshkosh, where he graduated in 1971 with a bachelor's degree. In 1971, Burrus and fellow student Bill Gray, during their senior year, were awarded a research grant for $9,800 from the United States Department of Education to establish a student training assistance program. He and Bill Gray were co-directors of the first federally funded program of its kind in the nation.[4] The program offered free tutoring for collegians with deficiencies in specific academic subjects, sample test files, class notes, textbook exchange, general information and referral, assistance in registration, and help in selection of courses and teachers.[4][5]

Daniel Burrus is the CEO of Burrus Research, a Futurist Keynote Speaker[7], Business Strategist and Technology Trends Researcher[8]. Daniel Burrus (USA) has built a worldwide reputation for predicting technological change and its impact on the world of business. He is the author of seven books including the New York Times bestseller Flash Foresight, and his new book The Anticipatory Organization, and is followed by millions of readers on social media. He is the founder of 6 companies – three were national leaders in the U.S. in their first year, and five were profitable within the first year of business.[9] Burrus proves through rich illustrations of anticipated change that the future holds more certainty than we’ve historically believed. While concepts like agility give us novel ideas by which to adapt to change that has already happened, true anticipatory leadership and thinking allow us to shift before disruption hits, giving us greater maneuvering room and a wider range of choices from which to construct the future we most desire [10]

Creator of the Hard Trend Methodology

Daniel Burrus is the creator of the Hard Trend Methodology[22]. In this methodology, a Hard Trend is a projection based on measurable, tangible, and fully predictable facts, events, or objects. Strategy based on the certainty of Hard Trends is said to be low risk. A Soft Trend is a projection based on statistics that have the appearance of being tangible, fully predictable facts. Soft Trends are described as changeable.
