Your engagement in Shared Spaces starts with an immersive 4-month cohort program where you’ll connect with 30 leaders from various industries. During these 4 months, you will meet remotely on a monthly basis to explore innovations and technologies driving the future of healthcare, mobility, and industrial markets.
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!
The industry reports were created in partnership with Ebco Trends, a trend-powered innovation firm. The reports are used throughout the cohort to explore the impact of emerging trends within each industry and how these industries will evolve over the next 3-5 years.
One of the most valuable parts of the program for every Shared Spaces member is the breakout sessions during the cohort meetings. These sessions are designed to foster cross-industry collaboration, where we divide the cohort into groups to tackle questions about how leading companies can harness the potential of the trends outlined in the reports to drive innovation.
For instance, during the mobility cohort meting, the group explored a scenario of how Amazon could revolutionize city movement, using the power of micro-trends like e-mobility, MaaS, and micro-mobility.
Begin your four month journey by looking outside your industry and exploring the trends and innovations driving change in the industrial, healthcare, and mobility spaces.
Engage with 30 cross-functional leaders through interactive whiteboards and virtual meetings as we guide you through the latest trend reports in each of these spaces.
2. Ideation
As you expose yourself to what is happening in different spaces, ideas for innovation will start to emerge. As ideas are curated and evolve, they will be captured in our virtual whiteboard experience.
We’ll focus on new ideas in overlapping spaces and think about how the changes in one space impact another.
3. Action
At the end of your journey, you’ll have the opportunity to express interest in a project. Actions on ideas is where real innovation happens.
Projects can take the form of co-development with other cohort members or your own internal innovation project.
Dates to Remember
Cohort meetings will be on Thursdays from 1-2:30 p.m. ET.
We’re striving for leader-to-leader engagement and collaboration throughout the cohort. Engaging with leaders who are in like positions, but in different industries, creates an environment where ideas can be built on from one person to another.
Investing in Shared Spaces requires relatively low amounts of both time and monetary value, but the potential rewards are limitless. There is no limit to what ideas and inspiration this may spark for you or your team.
Building relationships with leaders in different sectors can be a valuable experience that not only broadens your network but also helps you grow as a person.

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.
