About the T50

When it was launched in 2001, the T50 was the first-ever global ranking of management thinkers. It has been published every two years since.

In the intervening decade, the scope of the T50 has broadened to include a range of activities that support its mission of identifying and sharing the best management thinking in the world.

That mission is based on three core beliefs:

• Ideas have the power to change the world
• Management is essential to human affairs
• New thinking can create a better future.

The T50 Ranking remains the premier ranking of its kind, and the T50 Awards (introduced in 2011) are widely regarded as the "Oscars of management thinking".



Today, the T50 brand is admired globally for its objectivity and market intelligence, confirming its position as the leading independent authority in management ideas.

Our core values are:

• Independence
• Integrity
• Accessibility.

The T50 also has a growing reputation for innovation in the thought-leadership world. Developing new ways to share the best thinking is at the heart of what we do. Our new Thinkers50 iPad Apps are a great example of that, and we will continue to introduce new idea-sharing technologies.
