Project brief

AIP wishes to explore the concept of Think Tank/Thought Leadership to inform its own strategic change process.

The study includes the following elements:

  • Conduct a brief review of definitions of Think Tank/Thought Leadership functions as might be applied to AIP;
  • Provide an assessment of the opportunities for change at AIP and of the associated challenges;
