Critical Business School

Greenpoint, New York



Critical Business School is a year-long, in-person and online design program based in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The program will equip professionals with the critical thinking and practical skills needed to innovate in complex environments. 

Participants will learn transformational skills; prompt writing for humans (and AI), methods to harness creative surplus, the art of holding space for others, and economic articulation.

Critical Business School will consist of two parts—a core weekly course on topics of the self, transformation, and leadership. And a set of electives on topics ranging from typography, AI R&D, branded world building, and bio design.

Electives are 4, 8, or 12 weeks long and include designated learning outcomes, readings, and a culminating project/assignment. 
WhatCritical Business School has run for the last five years, hosting 200+ alumni spread across Europe and the United States. The course has covered a wide range of topics, including (among others) Spaces for Collaboration, AI and Language, and The Economics of Creativity.


This will be the first in-person CBS, and it will run throughout 2026.
