The Fast Future Executive

What The Fast Future Executive does

The Fast Future Executive (legal entity: The Fast Future Inc) is a private California-domiciled executive education firm headquartered in Sherman Oaks, CA, founded in 2021 and operating with 11-50 employees. The company describes itself as a 'thought leadership first executive education firm' and a 'global consortium of thought leaders' serving enterprise leadership teams, HR and people leaders, and individual executives with future-centric, multi-disciplinary leadership development. Its primary client pain points are rapid technological change, the inadequacy of siloed thinking for interconnected global challenges, and the need for adaptive, AI-era leadership skills.

The portfolio comprises eight product lines: Fast Future Fundamentals (a 12-topic program delivered by 12 faculty through live interactive sessions), Executive Education (customized leadership development for high-potential or critical enterprise leaders, positioned for an 'AI Native World'), The Academy (AI-native leadership), the annual Fast Future Blur Summit in Los Angeles, The Fast Future Blur Book (co-authored by faculty and published by Wiley), Brilliant Reads (articles and conversational podcasts), The Edge of Tomorrow (live podcast), and The Shop (branded merchandise on Shopify). The underlying methodology is a proprietary 'Multi-Disciplinary Inter-Connected Thinking Framework' spanning AI, platform businesses, healthcare, work, mobility, blockchain, metaverse, leadership, agility, fintech, and regenerative innovation.

The business model mixes professional-services revenue (customized enterprise programs requiring sales consultation), recurring/self-paced subscriptions (Fundamentals, The Academy), event ticket sales (annual Summit), book royalties, and e-commerce merchandise. Distribution is omnichannel: direct enterprise sales, self-serve website enrollment, Summit events, book distribution through Amazon/Barnes & Noble/Waterstones/Wiley, and a Shopify storefront. Pricing for enterprise programs is not publicly disclosed; self-serve programs are available directly via the website.

Direct peers

• BTS: BTS is a global professional services firm specializing in leadership development, business acumen, and sales transformation programs for Fortune 500 clients. Comparable enterprise-led, customized leadership program delivery model.
• Mind Gym: Mind Gym provides behavior change and leadership training programs to global enterprises, combining research-backed content with structured learning journeys. Closely comparable business model to TFFE's enterprise executive education stream.
• Abilitie: Abilitie provides leadership development simulations and business academies for enterprise high-potential leaders and executives, closely mirroring TFFE's customized executive education and HiPo leadership programs.
• Singularity University: Singularity University offers executive education and leadership programs focused on exponential technologies, AI, and future trends — a near-direct thematic overlap with The Fast Future Executive's AI-native, future-centric leadership development offering.

Broad incumbents

• Development Dimensions International (DDI): DDI is a long-established leadership development firm offering executive and HiPo leadership programs, assessments, and transformation services to large enterprises globally. Comparable customer base (enterprise HR/L&D buyers) and product category (executive leadership development).
• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): CCL is a top-ranked global leadership development institution offering executive education, assessments, and custom programs. Comparable executive education and HiPo leadership program focus for enterprise clients.
• Heidrick & Struggles: Heidrick & Struggles provides executive search, leadership assessment, and leadership advisory services. Comparable in serving the same senior executive and enterprise HR buyer, though anchored in executive search rather than education delivery.
• Korn Ferry: Global organizational consulting firm with a substantial leadership and talent development practice serving enterprise clients. Comparable as it competes for the same enterprise leadership development budget, but operates at vastly larger scale across HR advisory, search, and consulting.
• FranklinCovey: FranklinCovey delivers enterprise leadership training and executive development programs (e.g., "The 7 Habits," "Leader in Me") with a global facilitator network. Directly overlaps with TFFE's enterprise leadership development motion, though its content is more generalist and traditional.

Emerging players

• Coursera for Business: Coursera for Business offers enterprise access to executive education content from top universities and thought leaders, including AI and leadership topics. Comparable as a subscription-based enterprise executive learning platform, though broader in scope and lower-touch than TFFE's customized model.
