How Network Members Engage

When you face a challenge and want to learn how other members have addressed it, we will organize a small, virtual forum of peers to share their experiences and help you problem-solve.

Our team facilitates one-on-one OSN member connections and external introductions that we know will create value for both parties based on relevant/specific experience, knowledge, advice to share, partnership potential, etc.

Discussions with a top thought leader and your peers that you can attend from your office on topics of critical relevance to strategists.

In-person roundtables throughout the year with thought-leaders a peers on topics chosen by the membership body.

The world’s largest gatherings of chief strategy officers and business executives that lead strategy for their organization. Network, learn, explore partnerships, and solve problems with other strategists from across industries and verticals. 

We maintain videos, notes, and presentations from our in-person roundtables (while we do not record member discussions, we do record thought-leader presentations), arming you with a library of cutting-edge content. 

Members can engage in new research conducted by Outthinker – they can  influence research topics,  participate in, gain advance access to findings and tools created. If directly relevant/beneficial to their organization and additive to the research they may apply to engage their organization to partner on specific research.

Why choose the Outthinker Network ?

True Peer Network

Actionable Insights

Chief Strategy Officers don't just think about the future we emphasize bringing in practical initiatives and ideas to drive immediate value.

Advocacy & Recognition

Dedicated to advancing the understanding, clout, and role of corporate strategy executive. Benefit from exclusive media opportunities that showcase you and your organizations' ideas, expertise, and successes.

World Class Thought Leaders

We don't sell consulting so have no motive to prioritize certain thought leaders- we engage the best from a variety of top universities and institutions.

By strategy executives. For strategy executives.
