About Thomas
Hi, I’m Thomas Reibke!
I'm an experienced process consultant, trainer, and facilitator. Over a period of 15 years, I have worked with teams and leaders to increase their innovative capacities and lead organisational transformation. I work from a holistic perspective and base my work on establishing frames that support groups and individuals to learn and grow collectively.
Organisations with whom I have facilitated transformation programs include adidas, IKEA, General Mills, Target, Unilever, Swedbank, DDB, Wieden&Kennedy, Danske Bank, Novozymes, Danish Broadcasting Corporation, TV2 Denmark, Wonderful Copenhagen, Vestforbrænding, Danish Ministry of Business Affairs, Danish Ministry of Integration, City of Copenhagen a.o.
My Story
My story started around 2003 at The Kaospilots - an alternative leadership and business school - where I discovered a deep passion for the forces that drive creativity, change, and transformation in teams and organizations.
For the next 15 years, I explored this from different angles. I worked at INDEX, a non-profit that promotes design and innovation to improve people's lives. I joined NORD, a multidisciplinary design practice focusing on architecture and urban development. At Hyper Island, I helped create transformative learning experiences at the intersection of leadership and technology. I co-founded a non-profit, Social Lab, focusing on social innovation and entrepreneurship. I also studied for a Master's in Cultural and Creative Leadership at Portsmouth University.
In 2008 I opened my own shop. Drawing from several areas and disciplines, dedicated to keeping it simple and always being 'work in progress,' I believe I have found a way (not the way). It works for me and allows me to serve leaders seeking to transform their organisations.
It starts with a need or desire to improve or fix something within the organisation. While working on this, I bring approaches and perspectives that rekindle the inherent creativity and the willingness to change and transform together.
I'm hard to box in, but so are the areas I work with. When my 5-year-old daughter asks what I do, I tell her I'm like a kindergarten teacher helping grown-ups play more and play better.
