Our Exploratoriums investigate how arts and ecology can help advance the practice of leadership. Led by special guests, we look inward, outward, and upward at the world around us. These series of thought provoking discussions bring together thought. Thought leaders, artists, leadership development practitioners, creative thinkers, and curious minds.

The KaosPilots and Creative Education
With Simon Kavanagh
It’s an interesting, and subtle distinction in phrasing. KaosPilot, a unique educational institution based in Denmark, has as its vision to “be the best school for the world.” Not “in” the world. But “for” the world. The KaosPilots are Masters-level students who pursue a mind-boggling gamut of creative projects and studies throughout the world. They are coached to become enterprising leaders who navigate change for the benefit of themselves, and also for society as a whole.
