From Knowledge to Applied Contribution, Verified Evidence and Public Professional Profiling.
The TBP Global Strategist Fellowship is a structured professional-development and applied project-contribution programme for undergraduates, graduates, professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs and specialists around the world seeking to apply their knowledge, expertise and perspectives to curated real-world projects being developed within the TBP World Vision Project.
These projects explore the future of global trade, infrastructure, energy, technology, capital, maritime systems and institutional development through TBP's distinctive strategic lens, concepts and innovations, with a particular focus on building more sustainable, equitable, resilient and globally connected trade, energy and data systems.
Through DESQUELET® — a common methodology for understanding, questioning, framing, simulating, executing and testing the transferability of ideas — Fellows move beyond learning about existing systems to investigate real challenges, explore alternatives, develop strategic propositions, test ideas through simulation and produce documented contributions to selected TBP projects.
Structured Strategic Learning
