The Next Collective brings together industry veterans as well as rising stars, business builders, organizational leaders and principal researchers. Typically our members will have at least 10+ years experience leading research, and 3+ years experience leading large scale complex work, consulting practices, operating as a functional org leader and/or entrepreneurs building ground breaking things to advance research. There are no fees or commitments required to join. We only ask that you turn up ready to participate. All time zones are welcome and encouraged.
