ThinkerBuilder Works

The Institution

One umbrella for the public work: what gets made, what gets studied, what gets given away, and what gets built next.

What it is

ThinkerBuilder Works is the organizing home for the public work of Ihsan Beezer. It is not a holding company and not a claim of operating divisions. It is a way to see the whole body of work in one place: the shows and books, the research, the public-good initiatives and the ventures that follow. IHSAN Advisory, Fortalen and Black Laptops are separate institutions, not arms of ThinkerBuilder Works.

The work inside it is described honestly. Most of what you will find here is in formation: projects being written, recorded, tested and built, published when they are ready.

Why "Works"

The name carries the whole idea in one word. An author's works are everything they made. A works, like Bell Works or an ironworks, is a place where raw material becomes something finished.

Thinker plus Builder: the institution exists for people who do both, and it is organized around what gets finished and left behind, not only what gets talked about.

The founder

ThinkerBuilder Works is led by Ihsan Beezer, a thinker who builds: writer, researcher and entrepreneur, a doctoral candidate in strategy and entrepreneurship at Rutgers Business School, and the founder of several institutions across media, advisory and sport.
