Making connections, building capabilities
We help creatively minded people, teams and organisations to build their capabilities in connected, memorable and motivating ways.
We've been curating and supporting our ever-growing community since 2001; with members today ranging from big retailers and governments to eyewear startups and digital consultancies. Working across all kinds of sectors, they’re united in their belief in learning from outside of them, and the value of applying diverse creative thinking to the challenges of the day. We create value for such organisations by understanding their individual goals; and then delivering a rich and collective learning experience that connects them with like-minded partners along the way. We deliver this with an in-person programme, digital platform and through the consultancy of our central team
