Usually a chair is created at an accredited institution and funded on the
merit
of some key academic and finacial sponsors.

So I would not call what you propose to be a school.

Simply hiring consultants and calling yourself a school does not mean
anyone will accept the Degree or Certificate has any merit.

I've seen lots  the "buy a degree" spams and usually I
regard them as a scam at worst or junk at best.

Even groups of knowledgeable people have job ahead to
translate a body of knowledge into a marketable educational service.

So, yes you can put up a shingle, but you really need to have
a stable of educators already in waiting to set up a little private school.

Not to disappoint you but you are better to get a good academic degree or
several
and find a niche in an already existing education that can use
a class in say  futurology in say an MBA program.

Since the timeline of accelerating change is already underway, futurology
might no longer be necessary anymore.

Kurzweil for example is both an evangelist(sponsor) and
manager/mentor/project leader
in pattern based  predictions, just to name one.
