This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

The Ingenious Research Council is a modern think tank and results-oriented action tank that generates high-end academic research and policy analysis. We provide advisory and implementation services as independent and unbiased consultants. Our approach is akin to open source – we develop ideas for open collaboration and constantly help our clients seek the next great idea.
