Biography

Dr Claire Naughtin is a Principal Research Consultant at CSIRO’s Data61, specialising in future-focused approaches to help leaders make long-term strategic and policy decisions. She leads the Digital Futures team, which brings together capabilities in strategic foresight, human-centred design and responsible innovation. Claire is experienced in leading strategic research and advisory projects for government and industry clients, covering the future of healthcare, employment, AI and other digital technologies, trade, emerging industries and transport.

Claire's interests and capabilities often centre around the following questions:
* What are the future trends, risks and opportunities impacting your organisation and how can you prepare for these?
* How can we embed a long-term strategic focus into future business or policy decisions?
* Where is AI impacting or being applied across my sector and how can we better leverage the potential of AI?

Claire regularly runs workshops with Executive teams and Boards to facilitate future-focused strategic conversations. She also presents the findings from her research and advisory project - including megatrends - at a broad range of external forums.

Some of Claire's most recent projects include the Beyond Tomorrow report for NSW Health, where she led the exploration of six emerging health megatrends impacting the NSW healthcare system and its workforce. Claire also co-led the delivery of CSIRO's once-in-a-decade global megatrends report, Our Future World. This work has reached an international audience of more than 14 million people and featured in over 385 media reports since its launch and was the focus as part of a dedicated megatrends session at the Australian Government's Jobs + Skills Summit in September 2022.
