We’ve been thinking about New Zealand’s thought leadership journey – and how we’ve got all the potential to be a country known for our ideas and thinking. But first, we need to empower the thought leaders among us to value their expertise and share it freely with others. Now, more than ever, the world needs […]
Those who don’t change, get left behind. That old saying is true for a lot of things – including thought leadership. Over the years at Intelligent Ink, we’ve learned a lot about ideas and how they develop. We’ve come to realise that changing (or evolving, anyway!) your ideas isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it’s […]
More and more, people are becoming interested in thought leadership as an avenue to share their expertise, knowledge and ideas with a wider audience. But they have questions. Are we allowed to see yourself as a thought leader? How much experience do you need before people will actually pay attention to what you have to […]

Let’s talk thought leadership during a recession. Right now, people are consuming more content than ever, spending more time than ever online and on social media. So far daily time spent in social media apps has increased by over 20% year-over-year in Q1 2020 worldwide. And only 4% of people worldwide have claimed to not […]
We will come to reflect on the first half of 2020 as one marred by challenge, with many companies struggling – and failing – to defy crisis after crisis. But we will also look back to a year defined by opportunity. While all business owners are focused on leading their teams through this contraction of […]
In a digital age in which everyone can share their ideas and thoughts online, it’s no surprise that the internet is chock full of content – and unfortunately, a good proportion of it isn’t exactly what you’d call intelligent… So how do you share your expertise in a way that actually engages people?
