Aithan Shapira
Experience. Transformation. Aithan (MFA PhD) is an established artist, internationally acclaimed Senior Lecturer in Work and Organization Studies at MIT Sloan, and founder of TILT. He has worked with the inner development of people, processes and team at global entities forwarding the UN SDGs, as well as a range of high-impact organizations in tech, health, finance, and green-energy including NASA, the UN, Greenpeace, and Ocean Plastics Leadership Network. He also serves on McKinsey's think tank for Learning Innovation and is ongoingly progressing curricular approaches for training leadership at MIT Sloan, Harvard iLab, Stanford d.school, and the Berklee Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship. Over the past 9 years, Aithan has trained more than 12,000 leaders, 200 facilitators, given over 160 keynotes, and customized and delivered leadership and developmental curricula for more than 30 Fortune 500 organizations. He is committed to applying his progressive ways for training leaders to serve high-performing change agents and global enterprises that are sincere about transforming inner capabilities into living practices and conditions that facilitate ongoing growth of individuals, communities, and the missions they serve.
Aithan developed his research on the creative process at the Royal College of Art & Design, lived in an Australian Aboriginal community for three years to study creativity in cultures of survival, and continues to be a visiting critic at arts institutions internationally. He exhibits his art in museums and galleries in New York, London, and Miami. He is the father of two small daughters, and is often found playing with them underneath the piano, or adding more fairytale characters to the life-sized mural on their bedroom wall. He is at his happiest cooking a feast of flavorful dishes for friends and family, studying painting and music, or on a plane heading…anywhere. He makes a home with his wife in Boston, and is usually in over his head (and full of splinters) from some latest DIY construction.
Cultures of innovation are lived, not performed.
They're about individuals, not installations. They can be cultivated but they can’t be controlled. They are emergent and evolving. They balance liberation with deliberation in the creative pursuit of brilliant and beautiful outcomes that are unbelievably impactful – on business, on society, on the lives we lead.
