TRANSFORMATION JOURNEY

You will be part of a unique community of leaders who are shaping this century through their dreams and determination.
EMBRACE THE PROSPECT OF A NEW TOMORROW
The pandemic has blurred the lines between our professional and personal lives. With Work from Home being a way of life, the leadership style needs to embrace digital tools to be effective. This is also the century where diversity is not a checklist item but an area of competitive advantage.
For the past decade, INK has worked with game changers with diversity of age, gender, geography, discipline and sexual orientation to built tools to tell stories of companies, individuals, social movements and ideas. In that process, INK has carved a globally vibrant, diverse and inclusive community that has positively impacted the global economy and created social good.
INK Future Makers is a program where you can identify your purpose and your personal brand and become part of that growing community to shape your future and that of your organization.
