Today marks the launch of Blend, a membership community designed to unlock the power of cognitive diversity and break down business silos. Founders Stephen Gee and Jeff Tepel have partnered with a global group of forward-thinking business leaders to create an environment that thrives on the exchange of ideas, experiences, and strategies.
Cognitive diversity is essential for dealing with complex problems and results in higher levels of collective intelligence. It encourages constructive dissent, challenges hierarchies, and prompts us to rethink where the best ideas come from. Blend provides its members with an opportunity to enhance personal performance by breaking free from the echo chambers that exist around them.
The Blend community offers peer learning and mentoring programs, content-led events hosted by high-profile leaders, regular meetups, and an AI-powered in-app community. This allows members to access on-demand content, including a video library for recorded events, workshops, and meet-ups, as well as access to expert masterclasses, groups, and the ability to discuss with their peers.
At the launch, Co-founder & CEO Stephen Gee commented, “Blend is the first truly cross-functional executive leadership community that connects leaders with diverse experiences and backgrounds. By connecting executives through our community, we support leaders with conversations to inspire new ideas and ignite innovation that accelerates their personal and professional growth.”
Co-Founder & CRO Jeff Tepel added, “Now is the time for enterprise leaders to step out of their comfort zone. Working with hundreds of executives, we’ve heard first-hand how they are struggling to meet new people, innovate, connect with new ideas and find a trusted place they can rely on for true peer review. We are excited to support them with the launch of Blend.”
The waitlist for membership is now open, launching first in London and New York.
