Today, LinKS partners with Professor George Day of The Wharton School.
Professor Day is best known for the ‘outside-in’ strategy with Paul Schoemaker, who introduced Vigilance Leadership in Harvard Business Review (2008) and MIT Press (2019) as competitive characteristics of successful leadership in organisations.
Together we have launched a novel research on vigilant leadership in cities with Copenhagen as a case study.

In alliances, we have pushed forward complex strategic agendas across public and private sector by standing up for:
