About the Program

Outthinker Certified Growth Strategists (OCGSs) are trained and certified to help businesses develop disruptive growth strategies using the Outthinker Process ®. We accept a limited number of members each year. The expectation is that OCGSs are experienced managers, operators, consultants, or business coaches already actively contributing to strategy efforts, formally or informally.
