Aaron is a curious generalist - civil servant by profession; poet by calling; educator and diversity facilitator by choice; all by passion. As the first Head of the Centre for Strategic Futures (2010-2011), he and his team often crafted letters, scenarios and other ‘artefacts’ from the future. He believes deeply in the value of such strategic anticipation, and sees inculcating long-term thinking as the most important thing he can do both in and outside work.
