Thinking the Unthinkable
Nik Gowing, Founder and Director of Thinking the Unthinkable, works to empower leaders on how to navigate the new uncertainties and disruption
About Thinking the Unthinkable
Thinking the Unthinkable was founded by Nik Gowing in 2014. It emerged from a fast-growing realisation of the need
to confront the radical new uncertainties facing global leaders.
Nik is an acclaimed journalist and former BBC World News presenter. He witnessed at first hand how institutional power was increasingly vulnerable to unthinkable change, and
how leaders were struggling to recognise this.
His deep insight into the new geopolitical, technological, and climate unthinkables led him to encourage leaders to go well beyond conventional thinking.
At Thinking the Unthinkable we have tracked and interviewed hundreds of senior leaders across multiple sectors. The findings
from these conversations informed our book Thinking the Unthinkable (2018) and laid the foundation for our ongoing work.
We focus on developing new mind muscle that liberates leadership transformation. We engage with leaders and their organisations to surface difficult issues. We challenge the
status quo. We create space for innovative and positive thinking in response to global disruptions, in particular the climate and nature emergency.
