IN A NUTSHELL
Kaospilot is a hybrid business and design school, a multi-sided education in leadership and entrepreneurship, founded in Aarhus (Denmark) in 1991. The teaching programmes are not designed simply to shape students to fit the future, but to help them create it.
By providing a space and a place where creatives and potential change-makers can develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes and competencies they need to fulfil their values and visions, Kaospilot builds the frameworks within which creative minds can become creative leaders.

THE KAOSPILOT APPROACH
The Kaospilot philosophy and framework has evolved over the past 25+ years of praxis, combining the experience of a vast and diverse faculty of educational practitioners with a broad yet coherent theoretical foundation.
These include various schools of thought within philosophy, psychology, action research and learning. The worldview draws inspiration from humanism while seeking to combine it with a systemic and relational view of social and natural systems in order to realise this potential and value.
They call this the Enterprising Leadership Practice – it is a practice that involves identifying and realizing opportunities and potential within a given context that create holistic value and benefit for those connected people and communities.
The Enterprising Leadership Practice consists of three dimensions, which are trained and practiced by the students:
- Developing Abilities
- Cultivating Character
- Creating a Sense of Direction
