Disruptive Futures Institute, Led By Renowned Futurist Roger Spitz, Joins Global Innovation Elite Including EY, Mastercard, and Servicenow

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Disruptive Futures Institute, the San Francisco-based think tank and global education platform founded by leading futurist Roger Spitz, has been named one of the Top 50 Thought Leading Companies in Innovation by Thinkers360. The list includes global giants such as EY, HCLTech, Mastercard, ServiceNow, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS).

The flagship Thinkers360 ranking recognizes the Disruptive Futures Institute for its meaningful contributions to global innovation through original thought leadership, pioneering research, and practical frameworks that help leaders navigate disruption and uncertainty.

“As we celebrate our five-year anniversary, we are honored to be recognized by Thinkers360 as a Top 50 Innovation Thought Leader in their 2025 Annual Ranking alongside such prestigious and innovative global organizations. For us at the Disruptive Futures Institute, the true impact of innovation lies in its ability to ignite hope, unlock new possibilities, and solve problems. That real impact remains our core focus.” - Roger Spitz, Chair, Disruptive Futures Institute

GLOBAL STANDARD-BEARER FOR FUTURES INTELLIGENCE
This award confirms the Disruptive Futures Institute’s growing global impact in redefining strategic foresight, systems innovation, and organizational resilience.

In an age where disruption is no longer a single or recurring event, but a permanent condition, the Institute focuses on building futures intelligence, foresight capacity, and transformational outcomes.

To help clients and learners build resilience, the Disruptive Futures Institute has developed a suite of frameworks, methodologies, and a unique lexicon of systemic disruption. These tools reframe uncertainty as a space for agency and innovation.

INNOVATION RECOGNITION ROOTED IN TANGIBLE IMPACT
Thinkers360, a respected B2B thought leadership platform, uses a patented algorithm to assess organizational influence based on original, research-backed outputs - including articles, talks, case studies, and frameworks - produced by organizations and their leaders.

The Disruptive Futures Institute was selected for the originality of its frameworks, the practicality of its tools, and its deep interdisciplinary approach - blending strategy with systems thinking, complexity science, anticipatory leadership, design fiction, and Eastern philosophy.

AN INTELLECTUAL ENGINE FOR THE POST-PLAYBOOK ERA
Founded to scale Roger Spitz’s frameworks, the Disruptive Futures Institute serves as the intellectual backbone behind executive programs, keynotes, and corporate initiatives helping leaders thrive in disruption.

It publishes original research, facilitates custom workshops for global organizations, and cultivates a community of practice focused on long-term relevance, systemic transformation, and sustainable value creation.

“The future has no playbook,” said one course attendee. “Roger Spitz is the futurist for the no-playbook era.”

In an era saturated with generic playbooks, AI-generated content, and performative thought leadership, the Disruptive Futures Institute delivers substantive, irreplicable value grounded in proven intellectual property and actionable tools.

“Our commitment is to real-world impact,” says Spitz. “We focus on frameworks, language, and tools that can be scaled and adopted. Our IP is tested through real-world case studies and experimentation, and embedded in ecosystems that drive resilience, systemic change, and sustainable value creation. This is the post-thought leadership era - defined by agency, effectiveness, and anticipatory leadership.”

Through Techistential, its strategic foresight practice and commercial arm, the Disruptive Futures Institute ensures its ideas are applied in real-world environments. This creates a closed-loop system where theory, application, and feedback continuously inform one another.

“The embedded support of Roger Spitz, and the Disruptive Futures Institute and Techistential teams, has enabled us to transform the carbon markets beyond what we could have imagined.” - Thiago Müller, CEO, Lux Carbon Standard.
