Setting
Think Tank Challenge is a collaborative innovation exercise where teams construct a movie narrative from the ground up. Across four progressive rounds, participants develop a central character, define the core conflict, build a structured story arc, and craft a meaningful resolution. The cinematic framework encourages teams to translate abstract ideas into tangible, relatable narratives bridging creativity with structured problem-solving. The activity culminates in teams presenting their “final cut,” integrating insight, empathy, and strategic clarity.
