Corkscrew Thinking for a Better  Britain

Welcome to The Do Tank Project. We develop innovative solutions to the UK's problems at a local, national and global level, and find creative ways to turn those solutions into reality.

​

Our approach is inspired by Winston Churchill's call for 'Corkscrew Thinkers' during World War II - those creative thinkers and mavericks behind breaking Enigma, the Operation Mincemeat deception, and the formation of the SAS and SOE. Not all new ideas will necessarily work, but the thinking can help reframe problems and push those inside and outside of government towards solutions.​

The UK faces a multitude of challenges not seen since World War II, from the threat of war to rising healthcare and welfare costs amid a low-growth economy and a changing climate. 

​

Our focus is developing creative but workable ideas to help solve these challenges, utilising the brains of some of the best recent Alumni from the Department of War Studies, King's College London.
