The Kingbridge Institute

The Kingbridge Institute is the research and development arm of The Kingbridge Centre; committed to experimenting with approaches to Meeting Design that will improve the meeting process and outcomes. We seek to harness and apply the collective intelligence of groups to solve problems and nurture desirable futures. By working with groups to define their meeting objectives, we apply strategies and integrate technologies that will assist in achieving those objectives with greater efficiency and alignment from the meeting delegates. Whether we include an Audience Response diagnostics session in a meeting, or build an agenda and moderate a program from the ground up, we aim to help organizations improve the way that they meet.
