Executive Leadership Program

You are experienced, change-ready, and keen to try out creative solutions in an uncertain world. Your ambition is to accomplish good work and good impact: you are ready to act on a vision of positivity and to invigorate your team or organization for a state of constant experimentation, focus, and flow.

THNK is a school and a Home. Together, entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs explore how to propel new ideas and movements. We help creative leaders design for scaleability, relevance, and impact with renewed energy and the diverse co-creation.

We imagine and implement broad-scale change in how the world works: human interactions, teams, business models, systems. We help you go forward, beyond what’s possible. This is where it begins.
