At London Speaker Bureau, we believe in the power of ideas to transform businesses and inspire audiences. Our partnership with Thinkers50 allows us to identify and work with the most innovative minds who are shaping the future of management thinking.
LSB and Thinkers50 share a commitment to identifying and celebrating the thinkers who are driving innovation in business leadership. Together, we spotlight emerging talent and provide a platform for fresh ideas that challenge conventional wisdom.
With so many complex challenges facing leaders today, the need for fresh, new thinking and practical ideas has never been greater.
The Thinkers50 Radar 2026, in partnership with the London Speaker Bureau, celebrates and features 30 people whose ideas are predicted to help shape the future of organisations and leadership.
Past Radar thinkers include Marcus Collins, Ruth Gotian, Amy Webb, and Erin Meyer – all of whom have become influential voices in their respective fields.
LSB is proud to partner with Thinkers50 to support the next generation of management thinkers.
"With so many complex challenges facing leaders today, the need for fresh, new thinking and practical ideas has never been greater," says Thinkers50 CEO, Mikko Leskelä. "We are thrilled to be partnering with the London Speaker Bureau to highlight the important work of emerging business and management thinkers."
Drawing on nominations submitted from all corners of the world, including members of the Thinkers50 Community, the Radar Class of 2026 features a variety of themes, diversity of ideas, and range of perspectives that are likely to influence management and leadership in the coming years.
Thinkers50 is the world's most reliable resource for identifying, ranking, and sharing the leading management ideas of our age. Founded in 2001, Thinkers50 was the first-ever global ranking of management thinkers and remains the world's pre-eminent ranking of its kind.
Every two years, Thinkers50 salutes the leading business and management ideas with its Ranking of Management Thinkers and Distinguished Achievement Awards, known as "The Oscars of management thinking" (Financial Times). The annual Radar list identifies emerging thinkers with the potential to make a significant contribution to management theory and practice.
Built on the core values of independence, integrity, and accessibility, Thinkers50 is admired globally for objective market intelligence, positioning it as the leading authority in management ideas. As partners on the Radar 2026 list, LSB is proud to help amplify these bold ideas and actionable insights that will shape the future of both business and government.
Held every other year in central London, the Thinkers50 Awards Gala celebrates the very best in management thinking and provides a forum for the Thinkers50 community to share the leading business and management ideas of our age.
