A sample of KIN Summit Sessions:
Macro-Trend Breakout SessionsAll KIN participants break into small work groups to address one of the topics of the summit. Delegates identify implications and opportunities of key macro-trends and share strategies for engaging senior leadership, collaborating with colleagues and motivating teams in increasingly complex, geographically and functionally distributed environments.
KIN ChallengeThe KIN Challenge is designed to provide the opportunity for companies and governments to engage Kellogg students in exploring solutions to tackle big strategic issues. Three high-profile participants from KIN have been selected to work with student teams during the Spring Quarter and present their recommendations on the mainstage at KIN Global.
Mission MatchA platform for collaboration, KIN Global encourages delegates to bring their missions to the summit. During the first day, groups of five delegates will be given five minutes each, helping make connections with people who can move forward each delegate’s goals.

The entire group is engaged in a dialogue regarding how new innovation models can be used to assess and build innovation infrastructure within a complex enterprise.
