SLATE l SPARK THINK TANKS
Slate | Spark Think Tanks bring together a wide range of curious, informed, and forward thinking people to explore a single topic in depth. Each Think Tank begins with a core question that needs examination and gathers participants who bring different perspectives, lived experiences, and areas of expertise. We look at the history behind the issue, how the landscape has shifted, where opportunities have been overlooked, and where outdated assumptions are blocking progress. From there, we move into projected outcomes, new possibilities, and recommendations for what should happen next.
​
Think Tanks can be large or intimate depending on the topic. They are structured around guided discussion, informed debate, shared research, and collaborative work sessions. Participants receive materials in advance and contribute to a final summary that may become a Pivot Paper, a public recommendation, or a blueprint for strategic change. Each Think Tank is designed to surface the ideas that are ready for this moment and create collective clarity about what the future should look like. This is where meaningful progress begins.
WOMEN'S INSTITUTIONAL
ORGANIZATIONS THINK TANK
Coming Spring 2026
The Women’s Institutions Think Tank will review, assess, and recommend how the major institutions created for women, including Girl Scouts, sororities, Junior Leagues, women’s colleges, and other membership organizations, have performed over the years. We will examine what they were designed to do when they were launched more than a century ago, what has worked, where they have missed enormous potential, and where Blockbuster level blind spots have held them back from evolving. Most importantly, we will explore what these institutions can do moving forward to harness the extraordinary power of women gathered in one place with a mission that is relevant, modern, and capable of driving real change. It is time for a pivot. More in January on this game changing initiative.s relevant, modern, and capable of driving real change. It is time for a pivot.

CUSTOM THINK TANKS
Think Tanks are the new orange from the old black for 2026. The world is moving fast and the companies and individuals who will be at the front of the line next year are the ones who take time to stop, think, and look at the clean slate in front of them. If you want to dig deep around something surrounding your business or provide an amazing Pivot Paper for your client or your industry or chart your course for what comes next, it is Custom Think Tank time.
​
A Custom Think Tank brings together a curated circle of humans to think through your biggest questions. We explore what is emerging and what it means for you. We look at what you have built, what the world is asking for, and where the opportunity sits. You leave with ideas, insight, and a clear way forward.
​
We already have several Custom Think Tanks in the works and more to follow. We believe that moving forward a think tank that ends with a plan is the way to go. No endless decks. No complicated frameworks that sit untouched. Just a focused room of sharp minds working through the clean slate in front of you and delivering something you can act on.
