When the editor, writer and literary critic Karl Miller died in 2014, the obituaries spoke of his brilliance and influence. During his tenure at The Spectator, the New Statesman and The Listener, and as co- founder of the London Review of Books, Karl Miller was – over nearly five decades – responsible for steering the national cultural conversation and shaping the careers of some of the finest writers and poets of the second half of the twentieth century. As a child, Sam Miller, though aware of his father's standing in the world, knew his dad primarily as the warm, funny, generous and loving man who raised him. Then, aged seventeen, Sam discovered a secret about his father that would change the way he looked at the world and – after his father's death – lead him to revisit the family history in search of answers to questions he could only now ask. Fathers is the result of that journey; a tender, thoughtful exploration of childhood and parenthood, of friendship, love and loyalty.

This article advocates that business schools include a formalized foresight educational experience more widely in their curriculums. As a group charged with educating business leaders of tomorrow, the cultivation of the skill-set and mind-set necessary for anticipating change and positioning organizations for future success and survival should no longer be left to chance. For the past decade, the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame has required all undergraduate students to take a course titled Foresight in Business and Society. During this time, the Mendoza foresight faculty team has gained perspective on the design and value of a futures research learning experience for our students. Five underlying design principles are presented that have shaped the delivery and execution of the course these revolve around: developing great leaders, confronting ambiguous questions, experiential understanding, rigorous exploration, and anticipation as a force for good. As with any design-based perspective, the article concludes with challenges and pitfalls in recognition that the process is not always linear or smooth. But to other educators on this journey, the challenges are manageable and the promise and prospects for students makes it worthwhile.
