Think Tanks
Developing new behaviors, models, ideas or structures effectively embraces a mix of ingredients to include teamwork, diversity of thought, respect, bravery, knowledge, creativity, clarity, focus, safety, and kindness. Activating any given challenge or exploring a specific path needs different types of teams who can bring unique capabilities to bear. Creative Evolutions supports a variety of formats for idea curation, and we will always embrace adaptation, and exploration of creating and illuminating new pathways as our ecosystem evolves.
Outcomes from think tank activities will be listed here and also distributed through The Solutions Greenhouse and partner publications!
