FOR LEADERS
Leadership with Humanity and Courage
A leadership renewal for those navigating complexity, systems, and soul. Because leadership in today’s world — especially in public and social systems — demands something deeper.
This flagship programme is a space for public leaders to pause, reflect, and realign.
We’ll explore the leadership needed at every level:
Yourself. Your organisation. Your system.
Our philosophy
We believe learning should be:
In an age of disruption, we were told to keep up with change.
But what if the real work is to slow down, to reconnect with why we started this journey?
At the ThinkPlace Institute of Public and Social Impact, we believe that creating meaningful change isn’t just about learning more — it’s about leading differently.
This is a reflective space where public leaders, social innovators and in-between changemakers come to pause, realign, and renew their leadership and purpose.
FOR service designers
Service Design, Reimagined
A masterclass in humanising, simplifying, and scaling better public services. Public services are meant to serve. But too often, what was designed to help people ends up confusing, frustrating, or excluding them.
This programme invites you to reimagine what good public service could feel like.
Not just faster or more digital — but more humane, more just, more trusted.
FOR those seeking creative courage
Creative Anyway
Creativity isn’t a personality trait or job title. It’s a leadership stance. And more often than not, the biggest blocker isn’t the system — it’s our own permission to try something different.
This workshop invites you to rediscover your own creative leadership — not by removing constraints, but by leading through them.
You’ll learn how to model creative confidence, foster experimentation, and turn everyday constraints into a source of innovation and energy.
FOR researchers
Research Under: Social & Behaviour Change
A deep dive into understanding people, shaping change, and designing for social good. In public systems, the loudest data often comes from dashboards, surveys, or performance indicators — but the most important signals are usually quiet, invisible, and deeply human.
This programme is for public sector leaders, social innovators and change-makers who want to design better interventions by understanding what really drives human behaviour — especially where intention and action don’t match.
We’ll explore how to blend behavioural science, participatory research, and design to surface insight that lives below policy, beyond forms, and often between the lines.

Join us now.
The ThinkPlace Institute of Social and Public Impact isn’t just a place for learning — it’s a space for realignment.
A space for those navigating complexity, systems, and service to come back to the why behind what we design, lead, and build.
Where reflection meets action.
Where courage meets care.
Where people remember they are allowed to imagine better — even in the most constrained places.
This is your space to pause, to grow, and to lead with purpose.
Welcome back to what matters.
