THNK School of Leadership is an international executive education organization headquartered in Amsterdam. The school was founded in 2010
History
THNK was launched in 2010 as a public-private partnership supported by the Dutch government, the city of Amsterdam, the province of North Holland, Vodafone, McKinsey & Company, KLM Airlines, and a host of other private and public entities. It was founded to establish Amsterdam as a creative center and boost the city's innovation ecosystem. Partly funded by the City of Amsterdam, and influenced by the leadership thinking and creative modeling of companies such as McKinsey, Pixar, IDEO, and Philips, “THNK intentionally chose to stay outside of the formal education system so that it could create its own version of what leadership training for the 21st century should look like”. In 2014, THNK expanded to Vancouver.
The co-founders were Bas Verhart and Menno van Dijk. Stefano Marzano, former Chief Design Officer of Philips, was the Founding Dean of the new course.
