ABOUT US
Think Up helps companies improve the performance of their people through customized and creative learning and event experiences. We specialize in connecting brand strategies to the minds (and hearts) of the people within an organization to achieve real results. We don’t play in the “one size fits all” sandbox. Our innovative creations are as unique and differentiating as your organization’s identity.
OUR SERVICES
TRAINING
Our teams of creative whizzes design, develop, and create curricula and supporting materials for instructor-led, online, and multimedia-based training. Thinking up innovative solutions that look different from client to client and project to project is just another fun day at the office for us.
EVENTS
With our diverse talents and backgrounds, we are virtuosos at creatively designing, branding, and producing the overall project and content for corporate events. A fierce passion for learning, combined with a dose of theatrics, is our secret formula for creating unforgettable conference experiences.

what we are up to
OUR PROCESS
You need help implementing a bright idea, solving a specific business problem, boosting your organizational culture and values, or managing a project. That’s where we enter the picture.
step 1: we get inside your head
During analysis we discover and listen—out loud. We look at the organizational improvements you want to make through a unique lens that focuses on strategic alignment, internal processes, and “people performance.”
step 2: we imagine the possibilities together
In design, thoughts are converted into actions. Our architect-like approach generates a product blueprint of innovative solutions and success measurements that will serve as the framework for your project.
Step 3: we bring it to life
During development, design becomes reality. Together we create the tools, resources, processes and modes of communication that deliver an energizing solution for your organization.
Step 4: we wrap it up with a bow
We have a vested interest in helping you implement lasting change. Real world testing leads to achieving desired results and a successful launch. In the end…we always deliver the extras.
Step 5: you achieve WOW! Results
Extraordinary results don’t just happen by accident. We use evaluation, measurement and compliance metrics to ensure your initiative doesn’t become the “program of the day.”

OUR THOUGHTS
Admittedly, I’m a warm-weather, sunshine-loving, summertime kind of gal. So as the weather becomes cooler and fall makes its presence known, I can’t help but reflect on these past summer months. Summer is the time for hiking, biking, boating, and vacationing – just about anything outside. But at Think Up, we have one summertime guilty pleasure more
I get a rush from thinking…literally. I actually feel my insides shift into a different gear when I go into deep thought…strategizing, visualizing, trying to solve world hunger. In fact, I am often accused of never turning my brain off. more
As I sit in a professional presentation given by a professional organization, I once again cringe when I hear the word “impactful” leave the speaker’s mouth. Well this isn’t the first time I’ve heard someone use “impactful” this week. It seems to pop up in business meetings and conversations all the time…more and more every day. more
