Shared Spaces is an exclusive cross-industry program for professionals across different industries to spark new perspectives and fuel ideas on macro-trends impacting us all.
Your engagement in Shared Spaces starts with an immersive 3-month cohort program where you’ll connect with leaders from various industries. During these 3 months, you will meet remotely on a monthly basis to explore innovations and technologies driving the future.
After completing the program, you’ll gain access to our growing Shared Spaces Community. This network offers opportunities for continued collaboration and new innovations.
There is a convergence in industry segmentation. Accelerated by the pandemic and digital transformation, our work and lives are becoming more integrated.
It’s more important than ever to understand trends outside of your own industry.
Shared Spaces aims to connect these seemingly separate industries so you and your team can stay ahead of our connected future. By exposing yourself to other industries you’ll also get the benefit of fresh ideas and inspiration. So, don’t limit yourself to your corner of the world – open your mind and explore what’s out there!
Begin your three month journey by looking outside your industry and exploring the trends and innovations driving change.
Engage with cross-functional leaders through interactive whiteboards and breakout discussions as we guide you through the latest industry trends.
2. Exploration
As you expose yourself to what is happening in different spaces, ideas for innovation will start to emerge. As topics of interest arise, you will have the opportunity to explore them in monthly ideation sessions.
These are 60-minutes on niche topics with less than 10 participants. The structured sessions are offered to the current cohort and all past members.
3. Action
Taking action on ideas is where real innovation happens. At the end of your journey, you’ll have the opportunity to express interest in a workshop.
You can choose to participate in a Twisthink-led workshop with others from your company or others from your cohort to take an idea into full ideation mode.
Program Schedule
Apply to join our next cohort, beginning in January. Cohort meetings will be on Thursdays from 1-2:30 p.m. ET.

One of the primary objectives of the Shared Spaces program is to purposefully break down historical impediments to innovation and concept development and advancement. One such structural impediment, among many, is the traditional deployment of confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements in association with any discussions of new concepts and ideas. Shared Spaces does not include those structures and agreements as part of participation. As such, the sharing of ideas and concepts is at your own risk and Twisthink cannot be held responsible for any outcomes of doing so. However, it is Twisthink’s intention to create and work to optimize an environment in which the sharing of new concepts and ideas is encouraged and appropriately respected in the spirit of true collaboration. To be clear, the activities to be engaged in through Shared Spaces are not a legal joint venture or co-development structure. Such formal arrangements may ultimately be derived from Shared Spaces activities. However, those would be separately addressed at such time. Rather, Shared Spaces is meant to facilitate collaboration in the most informal and purest sense possible. It is acknowledged and agreed that the ideas and views expressed in Shared Spaces do not represent the official ideas and views of the company with which the individual expressing them is identified.
