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.
