What Does it Take to Start a Think Tank?: Tom Palmer - ALF 2018

DAY 2 | Asia Liberty Forum 2018 (February 10th-11th) | Main Ballroom, Mandarin Oriental | Jakarta, Indonesia

The title of the session asks it all: so, what exactly does it take to start a think tank?

Executive Vice President for International Programs at Atlas Network, Dr. Tom G. Palmer, takes the stage to share the how-tos and to-dos of starting and developing a think tank.

The idea, as Tom underlines, should focus on a problem: "What is the problem to which your new organization is the solution? What is the lack that your new organization supplies?"

Brilliant video - I would've never thought to develop a "dream budget" but it seems so obvious now, can use it to iterate on future funding goals without a limited "we can't afford it" mindset.

I’m starting a economic developing think tank. My first project is my plans on how I found a way to fund and build apartments for all the homeless. A think tank to really be successful are different businesses working together like gears. All relations do not need to be explained. As long that the mission is complete
